+  
+  Spam-obscured email addresses.  Added new arguments: --quiet to quelch
+  non error messages and --recs to update recommendations only.  Sanitized
+  text output.  Added code to retrieve recommendations and created function
+  to only deal with recommendations.  Fixed a problem with the ini_set call
+  when setting the user agent.  Added to sanityCheck() a call to runUpgrades(),
+  which will check for upgrade tasks like adding table columns etc...
+  Changed default values of FETCHSLEEP to 1,4, testing for yahoo lockout
+  on those numbers.  Created patch for all of this and updated ChangeLog.
