RE: [PHP-WIN] Mathimatical equations in PHP

This is a mailing list isn't it, where there is a certain amount of email to be expected, I've not checked if there is a PHP-MATHS mailing-list, I suspect not - questions need to be asked somewhere, if we don't like them- ignore them then they will go away.. I have a key on my keyboard with the letters DEL on, I've assumed it means delete, when I see a message I don't have any interest in I use that DEL key, and it gets rid of the message... ... Sometimes I forget to use that DEL key, and just leave them in the inbox, and when I'm been particulary clever I will even remember the subject of those messages I'm not interested in and automatically skip over them.... granted there it takes a second or so for the e-mail to download but If I was REALLY petty enough to argue about bandwidth consumed by a mailing list I could un-subscribe (hango I can't find a button marked UNS on my keyboard.) Like you say I really ought to check the CC line, that seems fine to me, this is getting CC'd to he php-windows lists. I suppose what you REALLY wanted me to check is the To line also, but since you've not asked for that in such a rude way I'll not bother checking it. Anyway I'll make a suggestion to save everyone from this problem in the future, only send messages to a mailing list if it is what every member of the list wants to hear... to acheive this you must send a question "CAN I ASK A MATHEMATICAL QUESTION RELATED TO PHP", which is 1 email, then you must wait for the authorisation of every member many more e-mails, and then you can ask the question, the original e-mail, then you would still get the answers, the original e-mails.... increased traffic, more messages..... the other solution is that little bit of plastic with that word "DEL" written on. Just my thoughts on it. Adam On Fri, 2001-12-28 at 16:32, Svensson, B.A.T.
