Did I say "core" development? No, I did not, we've succumbed to the fact that core developers no longer visit this list. We have agreed that this list is to be used by module developers for questions about module development issues. The OP did not speak about development in any way but instead about use. > It's not like it's a high volume list.

But that isn't the issue. The issue is a segregation for archive purposes. If we just willy-nilly use the list without dedicated purpose what's the point of having a list named development versus one named support? How will a user seeking information know he can depend on a list named development to discuss development issues? We self-police the list so that we can have distinction in the purpose of the list for the benefit of those seeking information. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd
