[Serusers] forward() and t_relay() differences

[Michael Shuler]

Sorry if that first line sounded snotty, I didn't mean it that way.  I
didn't read it until after I sent it.  What I meant to say was thank you for
the response.  I had already been through the docs though and found that too
but I was still seeing the following problem...   Sorry if I offended you
due to my poor editing skills :)
