LOL, no problem!!! Actually they do get minor mass checked by someone else from time to time ;) I'm shooting for no FP's. And the results were VERY cool. It only seems like a burden now because I have to tweak it to where I am satisfied they will run faster and be smaller. After they are all done, it will be no work at all to maintain. Scoring can be changed in seconds for all if you don't like mine. Actually it has always bothered me that I set them to 3. But the last run against someones corpus made me feel much better. Domains added to the bigevil now are scrutinised MUCH more then before. NANEAS searches, Openrbl.org queries, ect.... So I'm confident. I am one lazy fool. So if it wasn't fun, I'd stop in a heartbeat :) I say, try them for a week. You can always disable. But I doubt you will ;-) --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
