weird telus.net/findNChoose link
I don't think I could safely blacklist this without hurting the rest of telus.net links, or I'd do it myself. I've watched this subdomain of telus.net for a long time, and it really needs to be blacklisted.

It's disappointing that linkSearch doesn't match this properly. Hopefully someone can show me the trick with it.
