    BTW, are you (Zeinfeld) claiming to be the guy who put "Referer" in the HTTP spec, or did you just feel like jumping in with a non-sequitur?

    No, I proposed the referer field.

    I don't know whether I 'mis-spelt' it or Tim did.

    Regardless, that is now the spelling and the dictionaries are the ones who are wrong. My spelling comfortably outnumbers the old one by a few billion uses per day.
