I was advised here not to do that, but of       course I didn't listen.       Still it does not explain why the files had been emptied and filled with       zeroes.              Anyway, for now everything is working fine. I will try not to touch       anything for a while.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
