Hey Matt,

This is closer, still, but what I emailed you off
list is to ask if you would be willing to take
this one as a small consulting job for us.

The reg exp and htaccess issues involved are out
of my area of expertise.

We really need this done as the whole premise of
how the site works is contingent on this
functionality.

Please email me off list if you'd be interested in
a small consulting gig for this task.

Thanks a bunch!

Skip
