Why? I don't know, or actually care, why someone doesn't want to use joind.in. All I care about is to reducing my workload, while at the same time reducing the time it takes to get something posted, along with improving the experience, quality, and the listings. If we loose out listing one conference, while gain dozen more, I think that is a good trade - especially considering we will no longer need to do actually anything \o/ -Hannes -- PHP Webmaster List Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
