The problem with this is if two or more wordpress installations share the same database and use the
same plugin - data from one will corrupt the other.  Using $tableprefix ensures that we avoid
conflicts in the same way that WP does...

Though, thinking on it you could do $tableprefix . 'cjd_' .  Ah well, too late now for lots of my
stuff, sigh.

Cheers,

Jamie.
