Hi all,

I've just downloaded and installed Maypole 2.0 over my old 1.7
installation, and everything worked fine, but I found one questionable
thing:

I really like GET requests over POST forms, because buttons look ugly,
but having the C<delete> action on a GET request is a bad idea in my
opinion, because web robots spider GET requests. Of course, one could
try to overcome this by having a proper robots.txt, but as the
robots.txt is site-wide, that might be hard to accomplish.

So my proposal would be to make the C<delete> action POST again, and
maybe style it to look like any "normal" link...
