That's my guess as to what they are referring to. Good point though. ~Lincoln On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 1:02 AM, Jason Porter < lightguard.jp(a)gmail.com > wrote: I'm a little confused by this thinking. Forge will work with whatever you have there. Generated or not. It isn't going to overwrite anything you put in there, maybe they were using an old version?
