I heard my name :) BigEvil hasn't been updated in about 4 months. Last week someone mentioned they still used it, and for giggles I checked what it would be like if I updated it. It killed servers when it was around 900k. Its now 2.7 megs! I guess one sure way for people to stop using it, is for me to update it :) --Chris
