     I bet. I'm thinking about the guy that got 10,000 a SECOND in that link 
Gilles and John posted. What if I'm going to get that but spread over more 
time, which could be weeks. This could be serious. I guess I could just 
change our email addy on our site to a spare one for now and let this 
episode fade out even if it is weeks. I think I've got about 75% of them 
pointing to the DI folder now, so it's not a massive problem.

    Thoughts Darren?
