There is no reason that users should have to change the version information by hand every time he/she connects with a different client in order that you can advertise your program. This should, at the very least, be an option that users can easily choose to toggle on or off. Another option would be to add a %clientversion% to the expandable strings so we don't have to edit it over and over."}}
