: I'm a little confused as to how you can offer "any" site, as you say in your 
: followup, and still provide a "list" of sites. 
Any site the user wishes to add.  Then they won't have to type it in the
next time.  But they could just put the cursor on the item they would like
it return and the software would anonymously connect them to the source.
