This is very interesting indeed.  I was originally approaching this 
'problem' from a strictly local host perspective (where the website 
resides) rather than from a remote attack.

You're reply set me straight on that one.

There ought to be a more creative way to monitor this stuff than just 
moving it from GET to POST (and POST in itself is not fool proof).

I'm going to munch on this.
