      Hoeray!  I have a first core version of submission moderation up and
      running.  This means people can submit stories, and moderators can
      moderate stories.  When a submission reaches a certain positive
      threshold (currently set to 2) the submission becomes a story and up
      it goes.   If a submission reaches a certain negative threshold
      (currently set to -2) the submission is dumped.
      
      The fact this is all done by our visitors (without our intervention)
      makes it truly spiffy imho.  The website can live a life on it's own,
      fed by the visitors.
      
      Beware, a lot of work need to be done though ... it's just a first
      basic implementation with the core functionality.  There are quite
      a lot of things that I'll need to change, extend and improve.  But
      comments, suggestions and ideas are - as always - welcomed.
      
      Please read this log message carefully!  It features quite a lot of
      important information.
      
      To test the moderation, log in, select theme 'Dries' (the other themes
      need a small update) and head by clicking the one and only 'submission
      moderation' link.  Don't be afraid to submit lame/funny/useless
      stories for testing purpose ... as soon we go public, we'll wipe out
      the story database.  ;-)
      
      
      WHAT'S NEW?
      -----------
      * Added 2 new operations to user.class.php to set and retrieve the
        user's "history".  Very evil but required to avoid people voting
        twice.
      * Moved dbsave() from account.php to functions.php.  In addition, I
        added a new function to user.class.php called `save()' that ...
        well, saves the object back to the database.  It's (IMHO) a better
        approach compared to dbsave(): it keeps things organized. ;-)
      
      
      BUGFIXES:
      ---------
      * Fixed a (heavy) memory leak in the constructor of user.class.php:
        mysql_fetch_array() returns an _associative_ array which made the
        constructor `pollute' the object with a lot of useless variables.
      * Fixed the slash-problem on the account pages. :-)
      * Fixed UnConeD's theme glitch, alas the warning.
      * Fixed the e-mail address not showing in the confirmation email
        (upon registration).
      * Fixed the typical quote and backslash problems in submit.php.
      * submit.php now uses the database abstraction layer.
      
      IMPORTANT:
      ----------
      * You can check the new submission system at:
          http://beta.drop.org/submission.php
        or by following the `submission moderation' link from my theme.
      * UnConeD, Jeroen: you'll need to update your themes to take
        advantage of the new function: displayAccount().  This function
        will display the `submission moderation' link when a user is
        logged on.
      * Natrak: you might want to apply the patches in user.class.php
        on the other sites using the same user-system.
