Ok, Yes, the server always sends the full post so it will generate massive
amounts of
unneeded traffic.

When you type in
tellnews empty_hide
It's an obscure feature that is not normally used. If that file I
described existed
then someone must have typed that in once at some point.
If that file doesn't exist, and you get more of these errors in future,
then I need
to examine this issue again as it could be some kind of bug and not just
the result
of that command having been issued.
