it worked for me.... almost

it worked in the sense that it made a link properly, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-cla...fullmailbox-20

but... if i went to say, the first page of slickdeals.net, and got this link from them:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

if i posted that link on my site, it would convert to:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...fullmailbox-20

which takes me to the main page of amazon, having removed the asin number.

i'm keeping this definition active for now, but any ideas on that will be appreciated.

(and yes, i realize it says 'temp fix', im just trying to troubleshoot)

thanks for the rapid reply and fix DJ
