[ale] page103.htm

[Brian J. Dowd]

Of all I've heard I like the suggestion that the page was "something
else" once on another machine which had page103.htm on it. Why don't you
create that page name on your machine but put an email link on it with a
POST form so that anyone who loads this page can let you know exactly
how he got there and what he was looking for. Someone is bound to solve
the mystery!
