I have a question, in the searchengineworld article
(http://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm), they say scripting
languages hurt search engine performance.  Fair enough, but can this be
avoided by housing script in a separate file?

i've seen this argued both ways, see G. here:
http://www.searchengineworld.com/misc/guide.htm

yet i've seen other people say it doesn't matter. in any event,
it won't hurt you, unless you're linking to things that are *way*
off topic.
