I was mainly replying to others in the thread who were discussing it. I generally assume you know these things by now!

Also, for others in the thread: I remembered on a whim this morning in bed that .escape() IS the SQL one. It's escapefilename() that I was thinking of.

I agree with you there, though. I'm not sure why certain aspects of the game are "pretend"-secure, causing more inconvenience than anything.
