yeah, i thought that too, but also thought that once you offer a public
service you can't really decide what people does with it.  and since
we're not going to abuse them, i didn't think it as a real problem in

we can ask them if they want to be parabola pseudo-mirrors, too.

we can experiment with this config as a mirror redirector but i insist
its uses are more vast than just that :P
