David: I'm reminded of the building contractor who, when asked why there's no lock on the front and back doors, replies that none of the other doors in the house have locks on them...besides, you'll get used to it.
It is a constant in the IT industry that we are all forced to overcome the lack of rationality and simplicity. (I see where I need to change the "TO" address when I click reply otherwise the reply goes to you, unless I remember to click the "Reply to All" button and remove you so as to not remind you of the consequences of responding to the list). :-) <soapbox> This could be worse, but aren't we all tired of dealing with this constant bull$%!t of taking different paths to process similar events (email receipt). I couldn't care less what Sun or MySql does; the MV market was built on rationality not inconvenient standards de'jour, so why should we have to "twiddle" with a simple reply due to some "technical" reason? Arghhhhh. </soapbox> Please forgive my attitude; I've almost completed a D3 to UniData conversion project and have been wondering why any non-MV developer would ever use U2 and any MV developer would use UniData. I'm sure I'll get over this soon though. :-) Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Logan, David (SST - Adelaide) > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 3:58 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: RE: [U2] Changes to mail list configurations > > This is a relatively minor change and the dark side of the > force seem to > be gathering strength against it.
