you presume a php hoster, but the OP didn't even bother to mention that (and how often do people post here even when they *know* this is not the place at all) - additionally if the OP had searched the archives he would never have had to ask the question (plenty of recommendations/testimonials have been offered in response to similar questions in the [recent] past) > > 2.

Roman N. has been posting quite alot here recently and his signature has been the 'Vietnam Vet' one for all that time AFAIR. Tedd has never mentioned it before and I am willing to bet that today was not the first time he had seen it - I don't think Tedd was bringing up a real issue so much as pointing out that the 'off topic' gripes cuts many ways. I don't quite get the "don't do as I do, do as I" say part at the end of your second point; well I do but I just think that it's a bit anal. I find getting all worked up about 'proper list etiquette' rather twisted, given that every 60 seconds a child dies due to lack of food/water (you get the picture) that said I've never had much with potentially offensive signatures - I find my posts are, quite often, offensive to some people all by themselves ;-) > > Now.. back to the original question. nah lets keep it ot shall we. :-) (your reply was helpful for the OP to be sure :-) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
