I didn't doubt there might be a need for your extensions!

I am overwhelmed by the number of suggestions and patches and diffs everyone
wants me to add to Merit RADIUS! Please let me have some time to pull all of
this stuff together.

I have a life outside of RADIUS (believe it or not!) and I have a job with
other aspects than just RADIUS stuff... Can you say "operating a network"?

That said, I will strongly consider "Kubla's" diffs. If I am allowed to,
I will make them available in a future release of Merit RADIUS. Thanks! :-)
