While posting to lugnet.storage, I got a weird "return to" page... the return
to point is not a valid URL

The URL no doubt is useless (since dynamically generated), but here it is.
http://www.lugnet.com/news/post.cgi
Here's what the page said:
-- start --
Post Message to Discussion Group


          Your message is queued up and should be appearing in the discussion
group a few minutes.

     Return to toomanyLEGOS?

-- end --
and here's the page source (I HOPE this doesn't get rendered as HTML...):
-- start --

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Discussion Groups : Post Message</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"
TEXT="#000000">

<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=10 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR="#AABBDD" WIDTH="100%">
  <TR ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=CENTER>
    <TD><FONT FACE="Geneva,Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="+1"><B>
      Post Message to Discussion Group
    </B></FONT></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>
<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE>  <UL TYPE=SQUARE>  <LI>Your message is queued up and should be
appearing in the discussion group a few minutes.
</UL>
<P><A HREF="display.cgi?toomanyLEGOS?">Return to toomanyLEGOS?</A></P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>


<BR><HR NOSHADE SIZE=1>
<FONT FACE="Geneva,Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="-2">&nbsp;&copy;1998 LUGNET. All
rights reserved.</FONT><BR>

</BODY>
</HTML>

-- end --

Here's another version with all the less-than chars turned into poundsigns

-- start --

(...) Thanks for reporting this. Now for some followup questions: I found your article in the dead.article file here, so I can see at least part of the problem. Here's the header (indented): Newsgroups: toomanyLEGOS? References: (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)
