Ever found a link for a great coupon online, you click on it excitedly and get nothing but "Please Wait" and NO coupon?

The '&' is used by browsers to separate parameters passed to a program, which is why you want to remove everything between the ampersands (and the 1st ampersand so you don't leave an extra & in there). Feeling really geeky and want to know more...read on here.
