One possible scenario...explained by an invite only PPS employee I spoke with awhile back is that some scripts are kinda spotty in picking up any text after the ? in the REF ID. I wonder if this is intentional or just the nature of browsers and the Net. Obviously, he argued for the latter.
Regardless, this does raise the scenario of a "faultless" shaving mechanism... "Sorry, buddy, but its not our fault our script didn't pick up your ref... how would you know anyway? can you prove it through technical means?"
