Oh, very good.  Sounds promising after a look at the FAQ.  Biggish d/l
for dialup so I'll wait to fetch the package until I have the laptop
out at some broadband location.

Looks (after a quick glance) as though there may be some gotchas.
Ideally, it would be something I can contrive to turn on and off on
the fly: The Guardian? strip all crap. OtherSite.com? leave it alone.
Rather than make the string-matching config completely right for every
case.  Or not.

We'll see.  Thank you very much.
