Just my 2c as one of the others who doesn't generally reply to what, at face value, seemed an awful lot more combative/trolling of a tone than actually useful (disregard != compliance on the internet), fighting on the topic of 'proper use of mailing lists' when you're standing in stark contrast to the configuration of the mailing list you're using to do it, and in the process, telling everyone (many of which have been around here helping other users for many, many, years) that they're wrong for using the list they've been using in the manner they've been using it... when I see your name appear the first time as long ago as last Dec., is rather on the arrogant side at the least (I'm not certain if you've been around -dev or another longer, as I don't believe I'm subscribed on that one). If you're really hellbent on getting the configuration of the list changed, feel free to take it up with the person who configures the list, rather than approaching it by being condescending to the people who consistently use it. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
