Re: PostTrack Updates

Top-posting because I don't care. I knew it would cause a lot of this up front, but eventually it could be potentially useful, once the monkeys realize that throwing poop isn't as much fun as it looked like on television. ;-P By the way, if you guys have ideas for improvement, feel free to modify the code. I have to repackage it with the new version, but I'll put it up soon. This concludes our top-posting day. Happy Saturday, all.
