Seeing that I added that output, I guess I should reply. The reason for it was 
that only one profile per keyword will be checked at the moment. Essentially, 
the output was both to make people aware of this fact and to make sure people 
know *which* profile is being checked.

I figure your going to tell me that all listed profiles should be checked and 
I'd have to agree so, if it'll prevent the addition of another useless file, 
I guess I'll get right on it.
