The problem is that I'm trying to download an indefinite and indeterminate 
number of sites, so I don't know what scan rules to use.  I'm essentially 
looking for an infinite crawl, so I thought -e would be what I wanted.  In
fact, 
I thought that the -e option would be exactly the thing that would defeat 
limits on cross-site travel....
