directly from the CF-Talk guidelines (http://www.houseoffusion.com/):
"Please DO post your succinct questions and answers, announcements about
events, products, and job opportunities and your input on discussions of
workplace issues. As long as the topic is ColdFusion-related, and your TOPIC
clearly defined in your SUBJECT line, it is acceptable ..."
the poster is developing a website using ColdFusion and wanted to know how
to secure PDFs within the website. that's about as on-topic as it gets.
personally, i don't give a flip whether you retract it or not. those are the
guidelines that the list was created upon. if you don't like them, then go
create your own special list full of expert developers that only ask
important, really-really-really-CF-related questions. but you have no
foundation to flame people who post according to the guidelines just because
you don't think their information isn't useful to you. this is not an
elitist list, and if you think it's supposed to be, you need to go read the
guidelines.
again i suggest you either settle down or go away.
