In fact, I didn't...  In retrospect, I probably should have, but I likely

Although as it is at the moment, anybody can go to my majorcool page and
do the same thing...  There's probably another config option to ask for a
username and password before accessing certain modules of MajorCool,
but I havn't found that yet either...  :-)

Thanks for the help, as always.
