Abe? Are you still alive?

It would be soooo much better if it just removed a thank you (-1) from the post thanks count, and didnt appear in the postbit as a separate count.

The integration only stops you from using both on the same post.

Installed, Rated and Nominated.

Took a lot less than a minute to install too.

Please port this to vB4.0.8, Abe1!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
