    1. the ad_verify_identity filter from /tcl/ad-security may run to abort service of the page, depending on which directories are specified for protection in /tcl/ad-security
    2. ad_serve_html_page in /tcl/ad-html delivers the page, with included comments and related links
    3. ad_maintain_user_content_map from /tcl/ad-user-content-map runs after the page has been served, to insert rows into the user_content_map table
    4. ad_pics_filter from /tcl/ad-pics will add a PICS header saying "I'm a naughty page" (or whatever else you've put in the ad.ini file) to the directories and files specified in ad.ini
