the problem with this is that google will get the non-javascript version 
and therefore will be able to follow the link w/o a confirmation ...

i definitely agree that it should be done via post, however ... it's not 
that difficult to do (done it many times with hundreds of <input 
type="submit" value="Delete" .../> inside one form) ... i always follow 
the GET vs POST recommendation ... at least the GET part ... i've been 
doing a ton with Ajax lately, and with that i've tended to just use POST 
for everything, since unique URLs with GET variables don't matter and i 
never have to remember whether i need to use $_GET or $_POST (i don't 
like to use $_REQUEST unless absolutely necessary)

guess i better setup .htaccess on my machine ... just been lazy lately, 
so i haven't bothered with it :p  ... ugh, why is it the things you skip 
because of laziness always come back to bite you in the arse? :P
