to put this in perspective..

The script itself is the protected side of a barrier, which is there to
stop robots crossing it. The liklihood of the script being reached by a
robot is very low indeed. It's there more for fun for human visitors!

My Perl is not up to seeing how the program can generate the domains rof
and oga - it picks from a wrod list, where these two don't occur.
