[thelist] Regex

[Plunkett, Matt]

It's worth noting that the Perl Cookbook (Recipe 20.6) cites the regexp
below as invalid for all but the most simple HTML.  If you're using Perl,
try using a package like HTML::Parser.  Otherwise, you're going to have a
very hard time constructing a regexp that does this.
