Not expensive... just enough to cover the time. The only thing though is
that you would have just strayed from the primary builds, and if you ever
wanted to upgrade to add new features that WERE in the primary build, any
custom changes would be lost.

I agree... And I'm not saying that there cannot be a workaround of some
sort... It's just a matter of figuring out what it is without breaking
the way it works currently...

Well, I guess I could just make it have a sub-account that just
duplicates the existing account (login and everything), tie it back to
the original account (so they are grouped together)... Would *that* work
for you? {lol} Then it's totally independant, but it's part of a group
of multiple accounts that all have the same login/info.

I know, I know... trust me, I've thought about it a lot since version 1.0.

I agree, and I don't ever WANT to. I don't want to tell people how to do
things, I don't want to tell them what sort of servers/software they have
to run, etc.
