I haven't modified the code. My cgi uses all of the tmda commands as if
running from a CLI. So if you make any bugfixes, I will still be able to
take advantage of them. Trust me, I think tmda is one of the best pieces of
software to ever come down the open-source pike, but I did not find the
templating system very intuitive. In fact it was outright cryptic if you've
never been exposed to python or ht2html before. Which now that I've been
told that the templates from the actual install directory are used, it's not
so bad. Anyway, I was not trying to stir anything or attempting one-up
anyone. I figured I would contribute some open-source code of my own. I'm
not trying to replace anyone or anything. I wanted something a little
different, so I wrote what fit me without modifying any of the actual tmda
code. If I seem terse, please allow me to apologize now as this has been an
absolutely horrid and terrible week for me. My intent was not to offend but
to merely contribute.

Sincerely and regards,
WDW

tmda-cgi is designed with a template philosophy.  If you don't like
the look, change the templates.  tmda-cgi does not have to look like
anything in particular.  All of this can be changed without touching
the code.  This means that you can still get our bugfixes as we find
them.

It is very easy to remove options from the templates.  If you don't
want an option, simply remove it instead of reinventing the wheel.
