[NEOPAL]A not so important message about a really, REALLY, important message from Fred

[Tod Huffman]

some people have nothing better to do than complain.  
Fred, I hope you keep it the same as it is now.  That 
delete button is not that far away.  And thanks for 
the service that you are providing FOR FREE.
