Okay, thanks for the feedback.  I brought this up on the wget list,
and folks suggested taking the wget components that already do this,
and integrating them into wput.  Assuming wget is a C project, it may
be the easiest way for me (since I don't know perl).  If I find myself
uploading web pages very often, I might consider doing this.

Yes they are irritating.  I have some procmail recipes that eliminate
yahoo groups ads:
