Thank you both very much. I had no idea what his issue was, and I don't want to have issues with people when it comes to programming concerns and chatting, I find our industry is extremely warm, but there are a lot of know it alls and rude people out there as well, which is why I mentioned there are always 1-2 in every forum I find.
The guy had a bad week, tried to take it out on me, really, really sad. I closed my email yesterday to not deal with him, so I thank you both for having my back and trying to resolve this. (I thought I was getting banned lol :( ). I thank everyone for their help in trying to help me with my issue, thank you guys for everything. > Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 13:26:17 -0400 > Subject: Re: [OT] Re: [fileupload] - Question about uploading additional > files other than the ones in the form? > From: davelnew...@gmail.com > To: user@commons.apache.org > > Ok, thanks--we'll see what happens. > > Dave > > > On Mon, Sep 8, 2014 at 1:24 PM, Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > > > On 08/09/2014 18:06, Dave Newton wrote: > > > On Sun, Sep 7, 2014 at 12:55 PM, Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > >> [...] banned from the Tomcat users mailing list [...] > > > > > > > > > Is there official Apache precedence for this?
