    And yes, it probably is captured on a server somewhere if they are using any kind of web filtering service and there is not much that you can do about that, well not legally anyway.
    So, on that basis, you could delete it all and that would have the same effect as just deleting the references to Jobserve...

      Indeed, but the OP asked for an answer to a problem so I gave one. Whether it does anything about solving other problems is open to discussion

            I'd like to do this to get rid of the miss-typed ones.

            It really ****ing annoys me that when I miss-type a url, the next time I try to go to the same site I get auto prompted with my previous miss-typing.

              I know - I was trying to get to Google yesterday, and mistyped it as "youporn" instead! How embarrassing!
