I think your message & request is completely absurd!

You are running under the premise that all programmers are logical & make complete sense! That we have no sense of humor & are dry witted. IOW, if messages can be downloaded (I believe is the correct term) then they can be distributed. Which leads to the possibitlity I will now have to start making only 'no nonsense' messages. This infringes upon my creative instincts as a programmer & thus unduly puts extra burdon on me to limit my expressions. Blasphamy! Where are those darned Blue Ribbons when you need them?

So wouldn't it be possible to just zip the dbf every week into a downloadable file to be available?
