Yes.  Thanks.  I wasn't offended - just that I used it as advertised
and my wordlist and config files disappeared.  I (mis-?)understood that
David recommended that you should run it at regular intervals, but I'm
happy not to do so.

It might still be better for those that use it if bf_compact got its
transactional info from the config file, though, as there might be old
unused log files around from a previous transactional usage - or
wouldn't that matter?
