I don't remember this but I was probably having a conscientious period
at work or something.

We do have in the CVS the hitherto unreleased admin tool which has been
contributed by someone, the only reason it hasn't been released is that
no-one has had the time to put in to bring it to release. You can
download the development version from:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/nms-cgi/guestbook/guestbook-admin.pl?only_with_tag=HEAD

I don't think anyone has been working on this (I have CCd the developers
list to check if this is true.)  My own view on this would be that we
would probably be more likely to add this facility to the guestbook
configuration to TFmail, but we would have to sketch out exactly what
the requirements are.
