I REALLY do NOT understand how adding a "?" will effect your ability to
add key/value pairs later! But mod_rewrite can do this for you
(assuming your Apache was built with mod_rewrite).

Put in your .htaccess file (this is untested, but should work):

	RewriteEngine on
	RewriteRule   ^(.+[^?])$   $1? [R,L]


Documentation can be found here:

and a real-world example guide here:
