	Well, we could add an IP field.  And I had talked with jason about
"encrypting" the get vars, so that it is not so easy to do it that way.  I
know we had talked about the IP field in the yes/no thingy.

	That brings up an interesting idea I had about this.  Instead of
the select/update pair, why not create another table, insert the yes/no
and IP address into the table.  Although we would still have like two
statements, one to check IP and one to insert. Well, then we could have
ajob at night that would combine all of the yes/nos into the articles
table.  I suppose this might not work out all that well now as we are
thinking of putting in the IP stuff.

	Just thinking out loud.
