My wife was wondering why 60% of her web site traffic was showing as "direct entry" - she couldn't imagine all of these visitors were typing in her web site URL from scratch. At the same time, I was working with a client that was depending on the `referer` value for some calculations. And something wasn't adding up to them. I couldn't really find a good list of bad reasons for using referers, but I did find a whole lot of partial lists. - Phillip Barnhart
