That reminds me of my setup when I was co-moderating on the Compuserver
TCBUG/Tangent and SCOFORUM groups.  I had scripts that would login to CS,
grab everthing injecting into local news groups, then grab my new postings
to post back to CS.

There's now way I'm going to run Windows for anything.  If I can't do it on
either Linux or Mac, it won't get done.
