There is a problem with Frontiers automatic linking mechanism - the one that automaticly links a quoted phrase to a page with the same title, if there is one.

When the site grovs - and DG & mainResponder makes it easy to spread responsibility for making new pages - a rising number of freak links occur.

Like on http://docserver.userland.com/tcp/sendMail where the phrase "Let's Have Fun!" in Examples tcp.sendMail ("dave@userland.com", "Hello!", "Let's Have Fun!") has becomed automaticly linked.

I know there is at least two solutions for this.
