[thelist] I have cheaters on my site.

Since can't think of any REALLY good way to get them, I decided to have a 
little fun with them instead.  If the users come from the page in my 
referer log and hit this contest page, they are immediately bounced back to 
the original page and their ip is logged.  I can then use those IPs when I 
draw names since I log the ip with the entries.   Immature?  Sure.  But 
fun.  :^)
