I just remembered one other reason --
it looked stoopit for the /news/compose.cgi page to be displaying
Home / News / Post
near the top.
Not the "Post" in place of "compose.cgi" so much as the fact that 'post'
wasn't its own directory under /news/.
At some point display.cgi and thread.cgi will (probably) move to better
names too.
