You shouldn't have to do that more than once though, when you customize your
BBS.  So I don't think that's a really big deal.  And when new lines are added,
I usually use a diff program (I like WinMerge) to compare mine and the stock
version, and then bring the changes into mine.  Usually, the changes are more
lines added at the bottom, but I've seen times where some of the other lines
are changed.  I just merged changes from the stock text.dat last night, and
some of the lines had "..." replaced with @ELLIPSIS@.
