Thanks Ben.

I'm mixed in my view about the merits of showing this or not. Upside is that
it shows the syntax of the file submitted by the person sending updates etc.
to the BOT and that may be helpful for some to view and understand etc.
Downside is it's just extra to view and does it really add value? Just not
sure. But if it's not a biggie to leave it in, and passwords are masked in a
way that no one can tell what the password is, then it's probably worth
retaining.

Hope that meandering thinking helped :)

Best, Paul
