yeah.
here I thought that DOSferatu was a clever alias that no one else was using, plus it fit me well (i'm an old goth, and have been a DOS user for 25 years) and then I find that someone has beaten me to the punch, but never used the greatest alias ever. I should probably switch usernames just to avoid any further confusion.

I'll dig out my latest. I think it only supported up to ICH 5, but this subject has gotten me interested in doing an update to it, and I have access to a few newer boards with some later ICHes on it.

I have done just that. We'll see how it goes from there. I was nervous writing the mail itself.

Thank you all for the kind words and advice on handling this. I think/hope that I did it properly without trying to be too assertive.
