I highly agree with this idea, as I was just thinking about that same
problem of disk space.  Even if I log out at 1:am, and don't log back in until
noon, I'm going to have 12 of those Galioth sized logs sitting in my mailbox.
(Fortunately I have about 3 Meg of space to spare here).  Perhaps having
the auto-challenge removed/cleared at about 1:00 EDT would be timely enough.
Of course, this does no fair wonder for our aussie and euro gladiators (hi
wimps! (just kidding!!) :) :) :) ), but it would eliviate a lot of wear and
tear on our Arena.  Also related to this string, a question: Can you clear
out specific challenges (ie CLEAR Dr. Pain, or CLEAR +), or is the CLEAR
command a do-all?  Is there a quick and easy way to change the CLEAR command
to something specific, like CLEAR <challenger name> or CLEARALL (assuming
that CLEAR is a do-all clear).  Hrm? Is that the trumpets I'm hearing....?
