Isn't it though? (a funny coincidence) I'm betting there are hundreds of similar posts among the major mod sites. For that matter, I even run across them in the official forums from time to time.

Now we're getting somewhere and are following the hopes of my initial purpose for posting here. This sounds great to me, but it also may create extra work (initially) for someone else. That wasn't my goal, but I'd love to see more logic applied to mod distribution.
