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...
