  41      I see someone hasn't read the coding guidelines...

  43 &gt;<i>This way akills for 5 days, will be send up to 5 times on each server

  46 </I>&gt;<i>the server). This should not add much overhead and non-expiring akills wi
  47 </I>&gt;<i>ll

  50      I don't see why this is needed.  The autokills-don't-disappear-if-
  51 server-is-split problem existed before the AKILL message got an expiry
  52 time, and it was always solved by rehashing; I don't see why the same
  53 approach can't be used with Bahamut as well.  IMNSHO, I think the current
  54 (if that's current) behavior of Bahamut is buggy; since when does &quot;one day
  55 or more&quot; equal &quot;forever&quot;?
