An example of legacy settings having some unintended consequences. I 
suppose I shall have to block that off. I put that in right at the start 
of writing DXSpider (which is now 10 years old, this month, BTW), 
thinking it would be useful some day. I then used the same field for 
chat groups - well it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Sigh...
