Additionally, is there any reason why we're tacking the session id stuff to
*all* forms and src'ed media regardless of it's path?  (ie, we're adding it
to PayPal forms, and image paths and what-not.  Huh?)

Honestly, I don't think you stressed just how bad this is for search
engines.  So, lemme take a stab:

This is **__REALLY__** bad!

As long as it takes.  I'll shoulder the full costs of bandwidth until the
final product we're launching with is professional, starting now.

Come on people.  Let's take some pride in what we put in front of the
community.

Thanks,

Jeff
