People having problems with SARE rules that they never removed was part of my motivation for cleaning up the plugins page. I started with plugins because Warren had expressed interest in working on the CustomRulesets, and I was bugged by the cruft on the plugins page when I added the one for DNSWL, so I started with the plugins page. -- "every time I race I see god" - tsuwa, #motorcycles, EFNet, 7/19/06 http://www.ChaosReigns.com
