I hope the development team stands firm and refuses to do anything even it they have URLs that they want to Pluck that have spaces in them. I wouldn't want to see Plucker be the start of total web anarchy. However, I think they would feel differently if they had some info they really wanted, but couldn't get. It doesn't bother me. I get all the info I want Plucked. _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
