I think you must have missed the second and fourth posts in this thread, which were about a way to strip the 'actor:' bit from the tags when displaying them. Most of the discussion since then has been about whether this feature should be preserved 'as is', or a 'better solution' found going forward. Or both :) _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
