         I actually did try that once, way back in the stone ages.  It 
caused more harm than good by tossing the real gems of in-depth tech posts 
by the bigger gurus.  Seems the bigger the Hammond guru, the less at home 
they are with computers, so adapting by having the big guys split their 
posts isn't an easy solution.  It was a good idea, though.  Thanks for 
reminding me of it, I may yet use it as an idle threat for the newbies who 
don't remember it failing before.  :))

         Thanks for explaining the order in which the footer gets spliced 
in, Ben, that makes sense.  Brings up a question, though....is ">" a normal 
character, or is it one of those weird things with another meaning in 
code?  Here's what I'm driving at.....

The Hamtech footer (4 lines, including one blank up top), as seen in the 
BOTTOM_BANNER:

----
All List Related Links and Descriptions:

The Hamtech footer, as quoted:

         If the pointy bracket is a normal letter, could I use it to bounce 
"> All List Related" (or some other text, I can change or add a line of 
text if that helps) while leaving the unquoted ones passing through 
unscathed?
