I understand. Nevertheless, I think everybody should *at least* inform others with a quick simple email like: Hey, I'm gonna do X because of Y I'm sure Jim will have nothing against... It is really not much, but it is of great help. I remember a time back in 2003 where significant changes have been done to the 4.0 tree just a second before the official 4.0 GM release... In order to facilitate this (and not to saturate the general aolserver list with this kind of traffic), I'd suggest to (re)activate the AOLSERVER-CORE (or such) list where core developers might ping each other quickly. But, of course, everybody willing to join should be welcome. Idea is to leave the AOLSERVER list for general purpose traffic and avoid (it's) kitchen-sink syndrome. Not all bits/pieces are really interesting for the broad audience, I think. > > Obviously, there may be times when all of us skip a step or whatnot: > we're all human. These are guidelines, not laws.

Zoran -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message. You can leave the Subject: field of your email blank.
