Content can lie just as easily as metadata. The Higher Source Web page had a huge collection of searchbait in black-on-black at the bottom of the page, which they ripped off from another wacko cult; see the SubGenius Web page at <URL:http://www.subgenius.com/> for a copy. View source. Metadata is just that, and is very useful when used correctly. Just about anything can be used incorrectly, but that is not necessarily an argument not to use it. -Chris -- Christopher R.
