noone in the whole community cares about the server or everyone trusts you
to never make a mistake. At least when limited to people knowing perl and
having time.

The sooner someone goes over this the sooner the fateserver is online
again

Thanks

Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly 
accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse the conscience of 
the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the 
very highest respect for law. - Martin Luther King Jr
