Interesting -- this makes me wonder (a little more) if it is Yarnpack's
fault in that case. But nevertheless, when i get around to revising
Yarnpack I will be keeping all these things in mind and try to put in even
more safety measures/checks/double-checks... and other stuff...

(Maybe i'll even see if i can hit Chin up for some real Yarn information.
<-: I don't like to pester him with my trivial questions though...)

(also i want to build in a bunch of new (optional) integrity checks into
NNIGN -- eventually)

Yeah, i guess. And as long as Yarnpack doesn't cause anyone to loose any
articles, or produce any real news.dat devistation -- i won't yet have to
commit suicide to expiate my crimes against Yarn. But it would be nice if
we can solve these problems too. (-:
