Re: Questions/Remarks about rbcollins_filters branch

Actually, I should mention that Moez is working on the same thing I am.

We're going to add an ACL for a somewhat generic type of content

interesting html-parsing features for Squid in the long term.

Filters are cool, Robert. I'm glad you decided to run with it.
