Keep in mind that it's not something explicitly done by the maintainers of the site. You just hit their URL, and feed your destination URL into its CGI. Some sites use that technique to offer on-the-fly translation from one language to another, definitely a useful feature. Others feed it through classic 'silly filters' that have been floating around the new for years, like Pig Latin or Elmer Fudd or the Swedish Chef (from The Muppet Show.) It's not really anything to worry about. --Jeff
