Re: Re: note 89489 rejected and deleted from function.rmdir by notes editor danbrown

My reason, aside from the fact that it's "because I said so," is that it wasn't useful by any means. It was not about rmdir(), it was about an alternative method. It was also, even by your own admission, in response to another user --- which is not allowed. Thanks anyway for trying to contribute, it's just that this post doesn't match what we want on the site. It's not anything against you personally.
