	Like I said it is only a partial fix to getting all of the extraneous junk 
out of the code.  In fact most of it is stll there and if anyone knew what 
it was they could get to it easily.  Bottom line remains that the software 
was not designed to do anyting but act as a discusion mailing list in a 
stand alone environment.  Any use other than that requires at least 
moderate patching.  Most of the request on this list for help are responded 
to with "you are using the software in a manner it was not designed to be 
used" or "Read the FAQ".  Thats the holier than thou attitude that prevails 
here and gets people to respond with just a negative attitude.

Didnt say it was a lie.  Just said you were not a fan before me.  Of course 
your restatement that its not a lie (speaking of the 'great time' party 
reinforces my connection between your idea of a good time and the very 
inflexibility of the code delivered in this software and the general 
dirtiness thereof.
