Josef >Humbly report, David, sounds like yet another reason to avoid Exploder. Sounds like you swing too broad an axe! This is a reason to avoid the "subscription feature" of IE4 on "SI" (or any other "polling" or "robotic" program). The way Silicon Investor is setup with it's "Remove Bookmark" anything that "hits" on it will remove the bookmark. If the "remove bookmark" were a dialog box, rather than a hot spot, this would not be a problem. Maybe this was setup up this way to avoid robots from overloading the server. Only Brad could tell us if this is the case. Of the dozens or more out there, I am not aware of ANY polling program that can be set to discriminate against a specified string. Some claim to be able to, but when you try them, they just don't work. Cheers, Bob
