We have sooooo many people around here that can't spare two minutes to read and understand things before throwing in their 2cents - wasting roughly 2thousand people time on their rants.. So the math is easy: One person not capable of reading instructions for 2minutes versus allowing that person to waste 3minutes (best case scenario) for 2000 people.. (thats actually more the 4 days of man hours).. We need people that take the time to think things through before wasting days for other people. That being said. You do seem to have managed to get through the first hurdle \o/ Other then editing the registration template.. Was there anything specific you wanted to contribute to? Like mention on the page, we don't hand out write accounts without a reason.. -Hannes -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
