While I don't have any insider knowledge into *why* it is the way it is, I'll take a guess - most third-party plugins come into existence because they satisfied someone's specific needs. Perhaps the original author needed to further narrow the range of good-vs-bad, who knows? I'd say modify it to your needs. :) Benny (yes, *that* Benny, hi Jeffrey) -- "Hairy ape nads." -- Colleen, playing Neverwinter Nights ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
