Re: Regex for Validating URL

I know this is an old thread but I've been away for the weekend and I really want to say this... On Thu, 2 Sep 2004 20:40:45 +0200, Nick Wilson <nick@stylesheet.org> wrote: > You know guys?

What you fail to realise is that none of us get paid to do this. I'm sure we all have different reasons, but I contribute when I can because this list (and the others I contribute to) have helped me in the past, and I'm absolutely certain they'll help me in the future. I used to be a lot more active here, but life changes and I've not had so much spare time. Others, like John, dedicate a lot more of their time to helping others out. That's the only way lists like this can be successful. What annoys a lot of us (fairly regularly) is that a seemingly large number of people assume that if they ask a question here they will get, or more likely that they are "entitled" to get the solution rather than help or advice. All we ask is that you do a bit of research, try and solve it yourself and if you're still stuck post a question that gives all the relevant information so we can avoid wasting our "good intentions and precious time" (ta Jason :)). Anyway, back to my day job. Where did I leave my scythe... -- Stut
