I think it's a bit deeper than that. I think some sites are vulnerable
to malicious redirects-- sort of like using an open email relay, but
with http requests instead of email. And there's a bunch of bots whose
mission in life is to seek out and exploit such sites. At least, that's
my suspicion.
But I really don't know. That's why I'd love some further speculation
from other Seasiders.
