I see where you're coming from.  But on a list of  Linux SAs, general 
computer people, and IT recruiters, I'm sure Josh can find /someone/ to 
help out ;).

This brings up a point I have been thinking about recently.  I used to 
use flat text files for everything, before I discovered databases (er, 
before the open source databases really caught up with commercially 
available ones), and I'd have to say that even for the smallest task, 
database-ing my data has generally made my life easier and my filesystem 
cleaner.

What does TLUG think?  For a web scripter like myself, is there ever a 
time where I would be better off with a text file??
