GoldED uses the first "username" in the config for .JLR's.

It is possible to play with this, you may for example put some dummy username
first, and let GoldED use another lastread pointers than with your name in BBS.

Pressing "i" shows which index is used.

=== Begin Clipboard ===
Lastread Record:

Index         : 0
UserCrc       : 6D4DCD72h
UserId        : 6D4DCD72h
Lastread      : 1028
Highread      : 1028
=== End Clipboard ===

And it is still possible to use any name when writing. Just define "group".

=== Begin Clipboard ===

GROUP All
 member *
 username Tommi Koivula
ENDGROUP
=== End Clipboard ===

'Tommi
