Huh, well, it doesn't seem to work.  I'll try it again.

Click here to go Aaron LArson's homepage.

Here's what I posted:

<html>

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" 
content="00;URL=http://www.expertlaw.com/larson">

Click <a href="http://www.expertlaw.com/larson">here</a> to go to Aaron 
Larson's homepage.

</html>

It's from Aaron's index.html page on M-Net.  Why doesn't it 
automatically jump the reader to Aaron's page?  I mean, I'm glad it 
doesn't, but I'm interested in why it doesn't.

Backtalk allows only a subset of HTML in postings.  When you post a
message, it very carefully parses through all the HTML and quietly
removes any tags that aren't permitted.  <META> is one such banned tag.
<BODY>, <HEADER>, <TITLE>, and <HTML> are also banned.  Other banned
tags include the ones to create forms, play music, and draw horizontal
lines (we use those to separate responses - reserving them makes it hard
to include fake response headers in your responses).
