Wow, this script really does do everything the mod posted does - and more! I'm impressed. Take out the configuration items, the comments and the line breaks and you really did it in 10 lines. A work of art. Feature for feature your script kicks this mod's butt in simplicity and ease of implentation. Thank you for sharing this genius piece of work.

PS. I never said it "had" all the functionality of the Thread Authors script..
I just said I wouldn't install an entirely new hack over my simple crontab I have now..

No, that's not what you said. You said, "Lol, ive got about this same script in a 10 or so line cron script. Would basically be the same thing if I added variables for its configuration in the admin control panel.."

Even going to the effort of "laughing out loud" before you made your claim of writing this script in "10 lines or so" and that it would "basically be the same thing".
