Hi there, I have requested my name to be removed from the mailing list. Can you kindly pass this message to the respective parties. Thank you.
Kind regards, Luis Marcelo -----Original Message----- From: Ceki G�lc� [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 December 2004 18:46 To: Log4J Users List Subject: RE: ObjectRenderers I see where you are coming from. However, in this case, you are really not contributing in the sense of the Apache License. You are asking for help about the "Work" but not contributing any changes or enhancements to it in the form of code. In general, I find it quite unreasonable to ask for help and engage in a discussion and ask those that help you to erase that discussion from their minds. Under these conditions, it is preferable not to participate in the discussion.
