i don't disagree with this at all. i use google for domains for my email (and i *highly* recommend it). but apparently there are people who don't have or use an alternate email. it also means having to keep that list up to date. it means greg having to send out emails to that list, and deal with bounces because people changed their 'secondary' email. the fundamental flaw in the thinking here is that greg would be assuming his users are smart (and have a secondary email and have provided that to him). as developers, we know that you never assume your users are smart :) just seems that throwing an update up on the website is the path of least resistance. no bounces. no worries that you've got all your users covered. it's there for everyone to see. yes, the drawback is that it assumes that we (the users) will take the initiative to go to the support page. i recognize the fundamental flaw there as well. it assumes users aren't lazy :D -- Evelyn the dog, having undergone further modification pondered the significance of short-person behaviour in pedal depressed, pan-chromatic resonance, and other highly ambient domains.
