Nope, server locked down absolutely as tight as a drum thanks to some
unscrupulous individuals that saw fit to try to cause problems post-move
from Dan.

First, please explain what you mean in more detail, preferably without the
parenthetical cluttering the explanation.
Second, since when are there really *any* performance issues with a database
that's made up of barely 1,000 records for the articles?
Third, please remind me what qualifies you to make judgments about what
constitutes good db design.
Thank you,
Jeff
