which they won't, you can be sure.

more importantly than authors benefiting from our high pagerank is that fact
that the better pagerank we have with google the more relevance we get for
searches for material on evolt.org.  that's how we help developers that
aren't already familiar (and use) evolt.org.  to cast that aside is a huge
disservice to the development we purport to be there for.
