Now you're > passing judgement. I'm not passing judgment, It just saddens me that I have to send multiple messages and this isn't because of anyone, it's because of my lack of knowledge on how to reply to lists that are set up in this way. But I think the "reply to list" like ash suggested solves the multiples problem. And on a positive note, If I wouldn't have brought this discussion up, I would have never known. Pretty sure I do now. -- Blessings, David M. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
