Why do you have to ascrive bad motives to me ??

Again !

    (This hot link will be to my future users' *own* web site. I would like 
*him* to know when and how many times his link on *my* site has been 
'clicked' by someone visiting my site.  Its also a learning experience for 
me too. )

    function getobj(cid) {
        return document.getElementById(cid) ;
    }


    another btw,  I run three other web sites from my own Apache server. 
They are all pro bono.  Whether the current one under development will be 
too, I'm not sure.

    Re: Trolling/Attacking   Over the last year or so, I've been DoS 
attacked many times on my other sites, and have consequently used 'Deny From 
www.xxx.yyy.zzz' for many of these attacking IPs.  My current developing 
site is only allowed access from myself --- at least for a few more months

    A troll I am not !
