Re: RE: note 90855 rejected and deleted from install.windows by notes editor thiago

Yeah, and it was a good suggestion. And with your follow-ups and such, you *should* consider joining the General mailing list. It's about 60-80 messages per day now, I believe, which you can even receive as a daily digest as opposed to individual messages throughout the day. Folks such as yourself, Don, are what make open source projects such as PHP truly thrive. The people that give a damn enough to put their ideas out there. As for your actual issue, I admit that I did not even read your post. Thiago, one of our editors, rejected your post, and all I did was glance over it to verify that it met the requirements for rejection (which it did, as you understand). If you would like, you can forward me a description of your issue personally and I will see what I can do to help you resolve it as quickly as possible. Then you can get back to working on progress instead of banging your head off the desk. Believe me, I know how it is!
