I neglegted to answer Todd's question about the behavior. Yes, the page resets
(99% of the time - I've recently been noticing that _sometimes_ when I return
to the new LEGO listings on eBay after a search that my search is still in the
form).

Boy this was annoying to me until I recently discovered that you could re-post
the form data. I was getting REAL frustrated using Preview Travel until I
discovered this, it was getting reall annoying having to re-enter most of the
travel information everytime I wanted to try slightly different times.

I've toyed with NS a few times at home. Never felt it was worthwhile and
removed it (and I'm happy IE asks you "I'm not your default browser anymore,
shall I fix that" when it starts up after NS just decided that since you
deigned to use NS to look at an NS only web page you obviously wanted to use
NS as your default browser [one of my friends decided he really had it in for
MS and rigged his web page so you couldn't see ANYTHING if you used IE], and
who has unfair buisiness practices now?).
