It's not a matter of ganging up on anyone. If Diodeus hadn't posted the code then its shortcomings would not have been pointed out. And if the code had remained in this group's archives without comment, someone searching for "email validation" may well have adopted it without realising its flaws. Knowing whether Diodeus is the author or the code has been published helps to determine whether it was intended it to be used as a general email checking script and who to contact for permission to use it. If anyone posts code that they didn't write, they should *always* state where it came from. The fact that something someone posted is criticised should not be seen as negative, neither Tom nor I said anything harsh. The main benefit of a public group is that anyone can review and comment on anything that is posted here - hopefully constructive criticism outweighs negative. Perhaps I should include plenty of smilies :-) when providing advice next time. ;-) -- Rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
