yeah anton, i lost a lot of important emails by doing a backup without 
checking the files first...
that is, they worked the day before, so i just backed up, then started 
the mailer and figured the files were broken

And *test* your backups! Did a medium-size system for a big bank. 
Ran great for 3+ years, they changed the network, glitched something, 
went to the backup and found that the archive software was set to 
remove all blank space (e.g. nulls) from files. Every backup for 
3 years had "compressed" the DB files in a way that made them useless.

interesting things that banks do.. would have thought that they have 
in place process to test and make sure recovery is possible

banks are also supposed to do money legitimately, but USA proved 
that doesn't work that well, us citizens had to bail out the Savings 
and Loan industry some years back after their illegitimate handling 
of money.
but that being said, you guys are helping me sort out how to finish 
my scripts...:-)

I totally agree that AltME could be built in such a way that the 
peers can suppliment the data back, you might as an example simply 
check the integrity of everyone's copy, and accept data when three 
or more people agree on the data.
Private data would be agreed on by the two parties
for example.

I think you have to click really really hard to change your sex.

The reason I started playing with my sex was that I wanted to change 
my icon color, then one thing led to another...hmmn now I know what 
AltME should do...show the colors of the people applied to the names 
in the Users list...suspect that has already been suggested.

Actually it has not been suggested that I remember.  Every once in 
a while I go through here and cull features though.
I search on words "AltME" "Needs" "Feature" Bug" etc.

parts of REBOL codes.

Reichart:can you move the Linux group-with all the messages- to the

Interesting...  When did the WorldMaster dividers get updated?  I've 
had AltME set to use WorldMaster dividers but it only showed All 
Users and All Groups.  I just switched to No Dividers and back to 
WorldMaster.  Now all the dividers are there...
Core needs to be added to the REBOL Divider.

How many lines can ALTME hold in its buffer or cache?
I need a solution that can hold alot of content that might be generated 
in one day - far more than we generate in the REBOL world in one 
day.
Also which there was a [quote][/quote] feature

Actually, I would like to see an ALTME that is like a cross between 
PHPBB and MSN messengers interactivety
That way when people are active the whole thing looks alive
