Not sure what there would be to the script. It'd merely be something like:

<?php
$r = g($_SERVER, 'HTTP_REFERER');
if($r and false !== stripos($r, 'newsriver.org'))
$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] = NULL;

Unless you meant something that pre-processes Apache logfiles, but that's almost equally trivial, though less useful. (g defined here.)

Well, imo, you should probably do both. And yes, it's ridiculously trivial, but you have to realize that a lot of people don't know how to do much, if any, scripting... so if you provide it for the general public, they're more likely to use it... if you made it into a Wordpress and MT plugin, that'd be neat too, and attract people.

You should write a little script that filters the referrers for that and replaces it with the correct one, then release it for free on your site in php, python, etc. It wouldn't be that hard to do, and if it catches on, it will go toward discouraging referrer spam. Plus, it will spite Dave Winer, and if you ask me, that's almost always a good thing.
