Sigh. As a moderator of "non-subscriber postings", I initially rejected a posting from this email address 2 days ago with advice to read the Posting Guide and re-post with a more complete request and to avoid using HTML. So far, I have not seen a responsive effort to respond to that advice. The advice we moderators follow is to use a very liberal filter for what should be posted, but this poster does seem to be a challenge to that interpretation. Perhaps we should be referring some of these poorly documented postings to StackOverflow at the moderations event? What say you, members of the esteemed audience? -- David Winsemius > -- > Sent from my phone.
