I must say, I never heard or even thought of the idea of calling it LookOut. Hahaha. It made me laugh for a good 10 minutes and if that term is open source, I will be using it ;) -----Original Message----- From: "Bob McConnell" <rvm@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:01:55 To: Michelle Konzack<linux4michelle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: Re: replying to list (I give up) From: Michelle Konzack > Hello Peter Lind, > > Am 2010-04-21 15:47:54, hacktest Du folgendes herunter: >> And waste time every single time you post to the list ... why do >> people become programmers/developers again?

Probably because we don't have a choice. There is a legion of PHBs that make those decisions for us, obviously without having any information about what tools are really needed. I have to hand edit every response I send here and to several other lists in order to add the quote markers and move my content to the correct location. Lookout no longer offers that option. It also lacks the reply-to-list action as well as several others that would make life easier and simpler for everyone. I can't replace it because it is closely bound to our Exchange servers for scheduling and planning. So I won't have an option until after I retire, and then I won't need this list at all. Fortunately, that is only a couple of years away at most. Bob McConnell -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
