[To all the people who e-mailed me to say that there's a bug in the scripts,
I looked through them, and I couldn't find a single Volkswagen -- sorry. :P
I did, however, find a rather silly mistake in a script I'd written to
automate the posting of the list. Lesson learned: Be a little more creative
with temporary file names -- don't just call them "temp". :)
BTW, this version incorporates a synopsis that arrived at the last moment --
that's why the Synopses Submitted count has increased by one.]
