er, I hope no one was suggesting limiting it to the first time it's used
*on the site*, but rather, the first time it's used on any particular
page.
because, as you point out, web's not linear.
only place that *might* work is in ecommerce, registration forms,
something like that where landing on a subsequent page makes no sense,
and should probably result in a redirect to a more rational place.
