  Every few seconds load a new window in edit mode for HUMAN editing, and 
  let the other portions of this javascript do the dirtywork to the given page.
  So, when I load one of my three special cleanup pages...my generated "todo" list,
  this section of code will start opening new windows like a porn site gone mad.
  The auto-formatting of those pages is not perfect (especially considering that
  these are "cleanup" lists) so I'll have to come back and ALT-S them each after 
  the show changes, anyway.

  This is actually much nicer to the servers.  They seem to choke when I try 
  to manually open 35 pages.  At least this way, there'll be *some* delay between 
  each new page open.
