Quiet mode is for when you're post processing and you don't want any screen
output.  Sorta like if you were to use snort as a drop in replacement for
tcpdump in SHADOW.

Readmode is just that:  When you're reading a binary log file, it
automatically sets the readmode flag.

If I'm off base here, someone _please_ correct me!
