Thanks for doing that d.  I took out the calls to session_start() that
were in each of the include files.  I really don't know how the site is
organized with php and what that means for all of these includes from
thefront page.  but my intuition would tell me that you only can call
that session_start() function once.  So every time it was called after
thatwould be uneccessary. no?

any php expert want to weigh in on that?

could this be a newer version of php that doesn't allow the old session
start calls?  i really have no idea.

Should we continue with this way of structuring the site?  What are our
other options?  Do we need a session id?  I feel like that's kind of a
tracking device that we shouldn't really give a shit about.  I don't
like the thought of unique id's.  They scare me.  How about a limited
use of them if they are truely necessary to make an application work.
I'd rather see some querystring vars used that were benign in nature.
ie. something that would drive the choice of page based on vars in the
querystring that wouldn't be per user (per se)ha.

So yeah that's my two cents.  david, would you like to work on a table
with me to hold metadata for the rants so that we can drive them from
the database.  Wouldn't it be nice if the rants page was built from
mysql rather than rebuilding the html file for every rant.  just a
thought.  maybe not even worth dealing with.  just taking out the
absolute urls would probably be ok for it.

Mom jeans!  Yes.  i love SNL.
