 * Lately, I’ve noticed my installation of WordPress hasn’t been intercepting 404
   errors correctly. Whenever a user visits a non-existant page, it displays a very
   broken loop of posts AND pages (and even pages that aren’t supposed to be displayed).
 * See for yourself.
    [http://www.bradkovach.com/thisisa404error/](http://www.bradkovach.com/thisisa404error/)
 * I was using the Redirection plugin found at [http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/](http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/)
   and I removed it and its settings.
 * I am not modifying the loop queries on ANY page except for the home page and 
   I rewind changes by running `<?php query_posts($query_string); ?>` after each
   change.
 * What could be the problem?
 * For those that are interested in assisting, I can give over shell access–if you
   give me your public SSH key. (bradkovach AT gmail DAWT com)
 * Plugins activated:
    Akismet 1blogcacher WP-UserOnline
 * This problem occurs with ALL themes.
 * Here is my .htaccess file
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
