No, but that wasn't the question being asked. It's unreasonable for the DPL to ask the ftp-masters to change the way they process NEW, which is what Sven appeared to be asking for. It's reasonable for the DPL to ask the ftp-masters to justify the way they process NEW, which would allow the developers to discuss the technical issues involved and try to find a better way of approaching the problem. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
