ML> Is there an SQD editor ?

    ML> Ack. Sounds like I have to write one - that'd be a -long- way off.

   To keep BBS announcements in chronological order as the events actually   
   happen(ed), for record keeping purposes perhaps.   
      
   Eg. If I make an announcement in a message area on the 5th October Re: "LORD   
   Registered", and a couple of days later remember also registering BRE on the   
   3rd, I want to create a separate post that's date stamped for 03-Oct-06 and be   
   indexed before the 5th October (Lord Registered) announcement.   
      
   Current Squish tools that I'm aware of aren't flexible enough for this type of   
   manipulation - they only repair/defrag areas, and existing message editors   
   don't allow modification of time stamps.   
      
   I could update bulletin.mec but that doesn't allow you to move back & forth   
   between items, select messages by number or list posts in brief format, or   
   even write more than 15 or 20 lines of text (although I do have ideas on how   
   to significantly improve the default Maximus bulletin system with these   
   features using mecca).
