...Could maybe become a pluggable bit for existing
plug-in/s? As opposed to an option? Somewhat of an
abstraction layer/service? When I come to think about it the
second time, this would be so lightweight and redundant, so
I agree that making it a patch would be the right route. I
guess that forking would be a bad idea, though I'm not sure
if Mark's URL's point in that direction.
Who knows where it all goes...? Forum spam eliminated with
Akismet? Subscription/profile spam? Windows zombie spewage
(AKA E-mail spam)?
Best wishes,
Roy
