Just noting the price of convenience.  A warning to those with the
tender Delete link sitting right at spot 1 on AddCacheInfo.
Actually here's the number of times I hit each button per year:
[Delete|Refresh:Options|Monitor|Index|Configure|Info]
   2      77       11     11     44      0       222

And now the page has become a bagel ad.

Too special casey.  Don't want to modify AddCacheInfo either.

No fault of WWWOFFLE. Just a warning (to AddCacheInfo users), as each
user will try a spider on his cache sooner or later.

Anyway, now I have
$ grep local ~/.plucker/exclusionlist.txt
0:-:http://localhost:.*

Haven't tried wget --recursive yet.
