Seems like a great opportunity to use SQLite, then folks could share around database files. Why the hell don't more people use SQLite for things like this?

  The author ('tilbert) is hellbanned. You can see his comments when you turn on showdead in your profile. Re SQLite, he replied: "@coleifer: there was a sqlite branch, but it doesn't scale well to many-million record sets which is what I have been doing. the design of the software allows drop-in db replacement, it just lacks the code. I can't decide to go back and sqlite or to just make a web front-end."

    > The author is hellbanned Comments by some (not all) new accounts are killed by default when they look like possible spam or troll activity. It's not a great solution because it leads to false positives like this one. On the other hand, doing nothing is worse. It's a hard problem, and it certainly doesn't mean that the user is banned. We're about to release software to let the community unkill these, which we hope will be a much better solution.
