henning, that's a judgement made from too little information. if you were responsible for assessing hundreds of daily messages to that address to see which should be moderated, you would most likely have a different opinion. changing your return address to an @apache.org one long enough to send a message is a lot less strenuous for the community than allowing postings to it from just anywhere and imposing the additional burden on the moderators. who are volunteers, by the way. and now that this has been discussed on a publicly archived list, it will probably have to made even more stringent, such as requiring the mail be sent from your account on one of the asf machines or something. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
