Actually, for me, the optional link url, title and image are only in 
the way. Is there a way to also eliminate those fields? Obviously you 
can leave it out of the main HTML page, but the prog still makes it 
available in the followups.

(Not to mention I have a *heck* of a lot of complaints of not being 
able to post due to banned words that are *not* on the banned words 
list. And yes, I've tried posting myself and get errors once in a 
while)
