Can page cache be configured to ignore certain query parameters?
When our newsletters go out, links are appended with user-unique tags for tracking purposes and whatnot. Something like example.com/page?userID=1234. It is my understanding that these unique values are all treated as unique pages and effectively bust the cache.
We experience big spikes in web server and database load as soon as these newsletters are sent out. Is there any way to keep those queries in the url, but have the caching mechanism ignore specific ones?
I feel like someone must have run into this before, but my google-fu is coming up short.

Is there a way to prevent/override hook_node_view from firing?
I need to use the Commentsblock module, but it is turning out to be pretty buggy. I've got an issue in the queue with a patch for comments not displaying for anonymous users.
Now I've got a second issue posted about how paging is broken, but I'm stumped on how to fix it so wanted to see if anyone else had an idea.
Here is the issue: http://drupal.org/node/1513910
My question is: Is there a way to prevent the comment_node_view function from executing?

Sorry for the late post on this meeting. It has been a little busy at DrupalCon. For those who were not able to make it to Denver, we can talk about about what we learned. Originally, the plan was to criticize my first attempt at a module and talk about my experience learning how to do it, however it may not be done by meeting time. If I'm not done in time, we can criticize what I have so far.

Read morecreating a view of files in a private file system selecting files via path
Im converting a a site from D6 to D7 and one of the major reasons for doing so was to use the private file system feature of D7. This is supposed to be a departmental only site so they would like some of the file to be private.
in D6 they were public and I just made views by using filters on file:path for views of specific directories and things worked great. Id specify something like path contains: "document/forms" and Id get just the files in that directory.
in D7 with private files all I get for paths are things like: private://Customer List_Feb 8 2012.xlsx
