*cough*
I do like your note from then:
A while back I ran clamav against all
'executable' looking external links and found one nasty file. It would be really
nice if the mechanism that updates externalinks table spat out a running log of external
link additions and removals that we could hook an ongoing scanner into.
Simple matter of coding, then? :-)
