My theory is that the basic "post process" is OK, since it works 99% of the time, but every once in a while certain things happen at the same time and, um, wonk the HTML. Two people try posting at the same time? Someone posts just as the server's rotating its logs? Or as it gets backed up?
Some posts have been affected, too, it doesn't just happen to the index.html pages.

It's like a section is missing. It's not like something's there that shouldn't be, or something comes out wrong...

It was pre-made at the beginning, but I've made a zillion changes since...
Any Perl whizzes out there?
