   if you say so, i'm just giving you feedback.  before attr.cfg was color codes    
   that would appear in some things.  could have gone in text.dat   
      
   I don't care, i was just offering a suggestion.  Over the years i've had to    
   tell people all the time you have to edit this and that and that to change    
   just colors on their bbs.   attr.cfg just seemed like a legacy throwback.
