It probably won't take more than 30 seconds, tops. Spending those 30 secodns, MySQL saves bandwith in three respects; 1. They don't let their list members be spammed. 2. The members that actually don't like spam won't get it from here. I am pretty sure that those who DO like spam can get it elsewhere without any major difficulties. 3. Members who think complaining about spam is spam and waste of bandwith don't have to complain (spam(?)) about it on the list. > --------------------- > Johnny Withers > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > p. 601.853.0211 > c. 601.209.4985 -- Pål Sollie - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Change is good most of the time, but it is bad when it sucks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
