So your rationale is, "BLU/THF is better than everything, and no evidence you can present can convince me otherwise."?

Also, a parser has no interaction with the FFXI itself. FFXI generates logs which are saved in the /TEMP/ folder. A parser simply reads these logs and interprets the data. The logs are simple text files. If you're curious, you can open them and read them for yourself.

Oh, but would Notepad be a third party program and forbidden by the ToS then? Oh shit!
