This script will create a bulletin board. It fixes these problems I've seen
in other boards:

- Security. On some boards, you can just 'post thing=$command:@destroy me'
then type 'command' and kill the board. Not on this one.

- Display. Other boards just don't look as good as this one.

Things this board does NOT have:

- A display of the poster's name on the 'show' screen. This is not too
much of a drawback.

This is distributed with no guarantees made about anything. If you make a
board like this and the Theme Wiz toads you (or, as we say on MushMUSH,
"impales your head"), too bad. If I've secretly put
in a command like "@dolist search(me)=@dest ##" then too bad. You should
check the code BEFORE you quote it.
