If I recall correctly you could get some Javascript included in your setup to perform the same function. This just levels the playing field a bit.
But if that were true, then +rollbacker wouldn't be a big deal. And if that were true, then maybe +sysop wouldn't be a big deal either. And we couldn't have that, now could we?! Mike.lifeguard (@ en.wb and not at en.wp as much I can help it)
