OK, this is nit-picky, but the errors a wildcard will pick up are NOT 404
errors. A wild card could not possibly ever pick up a 404 error. Since 404
is a server error code, you have to already be talking to the server to get
a 404.

I've seen this in the press repeatedly and it drives me almost as nuts as
having to call DSL access hardware a modem.

Thank you. I feel better now.
