The list was setup like this years ago on purpose, and they've stated in the past they don't want to change it.. -- -Dan Joseph www.canishosting.com - Unlimited Hosting Plans start @ $3.95/month.

And waste time every single time you post to the list ... why do people become programmers/developers again? To end creating technical solutions they can then avoid using by doing extra, pointless manual work? Anyway, if there's no chance of changing the minds of the people administering the list, the discussion might as well end now. -- <hype> WWW: http://plphp.dk / http://plind.dk LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/plind Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fake51 BeWelcome: Fake51 Couchsurfing: Fake51 </hype>

And we won't, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it probably does irk a few folks, so this will continue to come up now and again. As annoying as some may find it, though, it's not something we're going to change. -- </Daniel P.

Well most of us have read this thread now... and it kinda burned up about 4 years worth of time to remove the extraneous addresses :B Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP |
