yeah, i've been dancing that dance, too :lol:  i didn't want to do it this way
but i have finally just set both systems to not be able to autocreate areas...
it won't be as easy for me to whip up an areafix disconnect message for each of
 the areas since they'll now be thrown in my BADMESSAGES area which means i'll
have to actually look for them and manually write the message instead of
replying and editing the autoareacreate message... six for one, half a dozen
for another -=
