...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
