Prelude:As you know, the hero of our story, Rick Baker, and his lovely wife, and our heroine, Erin Baker, will soon be moving the UBB.threads ticket system and members area from the Infopop.com/Groupee servers to their own. While Rick will still be the Master Pilot, Chief Conductor, Head Cook, and Bottle Washer for .threads development, Erin will be doing much of the support work for .threads, as well as the billing, and just about everything else, near as I can tell.
And, they happen to sit next to each other, I've been told.
So this gets me to thinkin', which as you all know, can be quite dangerous.
So, on with

R: Um, just a sec I'm coding out this cool new feature.
E: (looks at screen, Rick is playing Mafia Wars)
DOPE SLAP
I'm thinking about 3 to 6 days. Depends upon how overwhelmed Erin is with tickets in the first week. Might even take 8 days as we're just coming out of holidays.
