I completely agree with whomever proposed to have this list modified to accept mails from subscribed people only, and to require that subscribed email addresses are valid. I'm sure it'd be possible to allow bug reports from people not on the list. As for people who post questions to the list without being subscribed, I think that they should either join and contribute to and/or learn from the discussion, or just buy a support contract instead. Something that would be really great is if someone would gather all relevant things that are being said on this list and make one huge FAQ out of it. Carsten's FAQ is good, but it's not as big as it could've been, had someone paid him to create it. Then again, if MySQL would pay someone to make a really good FAQ, they'd probably lose a lot of support contracts. Not that I believe them to be that greedy/cynical, but anyway. //C -- Carl Troein - Círdan / Istari-PixelMagic - UIN 16353280 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://pixelmagic.dyndns.org/~cirdan/ Amiga user since '89, and damned proud of it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
