I've actually fixed this bug in a copy that I sent to a few people privately, but haven't updated the site yet. I'll take care of that in a few minutes, it's a very minor bug.

Could you tell me how you found this article? The page is getting a lot of traffic right now, but my referer logs aren't showing diddly.... I'm guessing that most people are coming in from a link in an RSS feed, so there is no referer.
