Done. I've made an extra config setting for extra_strict - this was because=

settings are a little draconian for some forum sites and although useful, i=

by_num makes it easy to spot messages that try and hide by being follow-ups=

@bannedwords is not part of the $extra_strict config and does have a few wo=

with my update.

Other minor changes to improve W3C validity of the output of wwwadmin (can'=

So I've added a None column.

There are changes to wwwadmin and wwwboard perl scripts, as well as the two=

I've updated the README with details of extra_strict and the ADMIN_README t=
