"protoss"

I believe when forum messages are synconized to the newsgroups any file attachments also get posted.

that goes hand in hand with your other idea to wait a few minutes before syncing.
alternatively to the cron script we could set up a daemon, but that's a little bit overkill, perhaps Smile

other FUD code must be disabled or parsed before syncing...
