    I can never figure out how it is that ppl can't clue into the
fact that there is a "Search Now" button with the option to "Search All
Categories" being the default option...it boggles the mind

    I welcome any changes to that that you might wish to present.  The
point that I was trying to make (and please bear this in mind when you
submit a rewrite for me) was the short amount of time it took to create
a working front end to the PostgreSQL database.

    I'm not the linguistic in the group, and everyone here knows it...
which is why David wrote the Press Release instead of me :)  Anyone wants to
volunteer to re-write working, I'm more then happy to change it :)

    It was meant as a quick and dirty solution to a growing problem...
ppl trying to submit things but never seeing it added because it was all
manual :(
