[AccessD] AccessD never changes

Hi Kathryn:

...And that is the difference between a free "broadcast" system, like we
have and a centralized "forum" system that needs to count the hits to tailor
and capitalize on the content's popularity. In addition, there is no
pretence or ability to enforce any privacy within a standard forum
environment.

The forums that I belong to, while they DO give an email notification, only
say something like "there has been a reply", or just a snippet of the reply,
still requiring one to go to the forum to read it.
