So I've been trying to learn SOME MPL or python in order to create mods that
are exactly the data that I want... The CNN new mod is great; the FOX one
always messes up because of the ascii characters that FOX uses... however, I
really want to get daily hacker news stories into a (bigger list... longer
than the CNN one page mod) file to display on my bbs... its really for ME;
but I'll always share if i come up with anything good.

Do you possibly have any scripts, MPL, or info that you might share with me
as I try to learn how to do it myself? I certainly would be appreciative. My
email is paulie420@gmail.com ...
