Sorry, David. The abbreviation "SP" had been used so many times for  
"Sneaky Peek", that I thought it was commonly-understood now.

I also thought only users of URL Manager Pro would want to read that  
mail, so they would recognize its usual abbreviation.

I have difficulty typing, so abbreviations are helpful. I'm sorry if  
they are confusing. That's certainly not my intention.
