No, not just for the Users Groups. that's just one _table_ within the
DB. IF we were only going to track UG, yes, of course, just a flatfile
text read-and-write. The idea is to create a database structure with
many things stored in it, but to have consistent 'get' and put'
functions over all. The idea is that a user in Timbuktu will fill out a
web form from his local mirror, and the e-mail CGI will send that
request back to the advo. server, which will update its DB and
_generate_new_static_pages_ of the lists for you to mirror.
