You are illustrating my point.
What point? That the changes I've made that you don't appear to have
reviewed should be thrown out and replaced with the updated LSB scripts?
I was open to someone else implementing the scripts. IIRC, DJ made some
contributions and I had some problems with them. At that point everyone
else got busy and I had the time.

I could only find one line where you suggested using the LSB scripts.
I'm really quite open to changing what I've done or even throwing them
out completely if there are major problems, but I've not really heard of
many issues in the new scripts. Those that have been brought up are
being (or have already been) addressed.
