Thanks Rob, this should make things easier for people.  And to add another level
of simplistic views to it, I'm currently working on a Front End GUI, with
wxEuphoria,
to download the Messages, and display them in a GUI Format.  I've got all the
base
parsing, and ideals down for it.  It will, as many may want, have Threading
abilities
in it.

Meaning, that messages such as this, will come up looking like this in a Tree
View:

Etc Etc.

Any suggestions, ideas, and what nots, are much appreciated.  Also, Rob, would
it be possible to setup a CGI Script that'll take the User's Name, Password,
and post information all at the same time?  Cause I might also incorperate a
posting ability through the Web Forum into the program itself.
