right, good idea.

And, a side note, I would like the Admins to consider changing the charter of
.db.inv to allow discussion.  There really isn't any other place that's
appropriate for discussion of inventories in general (sometimes .db.brictionry.

or at least make a .db.inv.discussion? and have posts to db.inv
