Folks, give me time to restore the database yet again back to the 
July 5 2009 copy.  The one I just uploaded was from 2008.  I'm still 
looking for a May or June 2009 copy and have asked my host to look 
for one as well.  They came through for me in the past after a bot 
attack.  This is what I get for running a site. This is what I get 
for using the software that the rest of the world uses.  We have 
security holes in MySQL, PHP, Apache, Windows, Linux,..  It's either 
run a site, or not.  They always seem to get us when we're slacking 
on our backups.

I don't blame anybody for not posting right now while I work out some kinks.
