A desirable feature for a proxy would be to filter portions of what it gets.
If we're getting a URL that matches a pattern (like www.stocks.hotshit.com),
then once we see a certain pattern in the HTML (start of embedded ad),
excise the HTML until we see another pattern.  A set of triples.

My block file so far is much bigger than yours.  Anyone cares to keep the
official big blocklist? :-)
