Mr Pearse: I must have forgotten to set the appropriate permissions. I shall do so immediately.

Ms Shriner: Well, I confess that I am more inclined _towards_ the production of flames, but clearly this is a disgusting habit and to be discouraged, even in private, as the stench of burnt nasal hair no doubt persists. I dread to think, to be quite frank.

The quickest route I suspect would be to persuade the gentleman in question that he would look much more handsome with a proper handlebar moustache, which has the benefit of concealing any rogue whiskers protruding from the nostrils most efficiently; they will blend into the moustache itself, which in addition gives a noble bearing.

Failing that, I have been thinking along the lines of a Clockwork Moustache, which would attach to the upper lip and provide a healthful massage to the skin, as well as be able to concisely trim hairs just above it by the simple application of flywheels. On the other hand I have been discouraged by some prurient suggestions as to the true purpose of a massaging clockwork moustache, which I would like to state that I whole-heartedly deny.

My dear Ms Malaprop, as an ardent admirer of your fine creations, I wish to implore your assistance on a matter of some delicacy.
My beloved fiance, a man of impeccable grooming and deportment has, alas, the somewhat disconcerting habit of relieving himself of excess nasal hair with the aid of a lighted match. I have, over the years, besought the advice of many knowledgeable sages and have received replies ranging from the derisory to the homicidal. Having carefully considered the instructions I was thus given, I find that none would allow me to maintain the affections of my Intended nor, I believe, avoid censure by our venerable legal system.
I therefore, in cognizance of your skill with the marvels of Victorian technology, humbly request that you direct your attention to the creation of a device which would perform the required operation with a minimum of blood loss and no production of noxious fumes.

My gracious thanks for the updated Webley. While I admire the LeMat, the Webley is far more in keeping with the uniforms I have created.

I was wondering if it might be at all possible to allow the “holstered” version to have the prims moddable, so that an actual holster may be built to contain it?

ah, true, I totally forgot. Sorry, my apologies… :)
And for the failed requests - interesting.
I’d expect 1.9m in the name2key db to provide a significant coverage to include the ~300000 that spend the money inworld, which makes my previous comment comment null and void.
Interesting to know whether there would be any, in case you can share that info.

The sending of the IM and the llGiveInventory use about five seconds between calls, so it is fairly gentle on the server itself (assuming that the majority of one’s calls result in a key - perhaps a pause after a failed request would also be a good idea).

Nice script, although I would include llSleep(2.0+llFrand(2.0)) or such inbetween the requests to be a bit gentler to the w-hat server.

As for the use - every technology has both light and dark sides. Even a TV set can be used to kill or injure someone by dropping it on their head. :)

Regarding spamming - since the identity of the sender is quite easily recognizable, if this becomes a problem I am hopeful LL would fairly easily track down the miscreants - since unsolicited advertizements are considered an illegal activity in many juristictions.
