ADVERTISING LINKS...THIS IS DISASTEROUS! IS THIS A BUG WITH WIKI? or does wiki not
have enough money? It has happened to me intermittantly on pages: "UP-search.com" it
seems to be from.

Wanganui
The Piano - advertising piano lessons(!)
Last of the Mohicans

and a few more I can't remember... we have to stop this now!
