I am sorry that I have offended with the following things that I have done:
1)Replying to this thread trying to come up with another option for the [request] prefix. I am fairly new to the board and thought it was useful to see that others had requested something that I was interested in. I am sorry that he is just trying to be helpful.
2)Posting another post with the prefix of [request]. I hadn't read this thread yet, and when I posted a reply to my own question to put it back to the top for a fresh look... I get a snide remark from Mr. JimF

Being one of the new kids on the block I am sorry I don't know all the rules of this forum. As a newbie I liked the [request] prefix and just tried to offer another possible solution. I had thought that this forum had helpful people in it... and I am sure that some are. I guess there are others that just need to rip someone down just for voicing their opinion.

For thetakerfan: While granted the board is fairly small now, I expect it to grow a lot in the future. It's easy to find the release post now, but down the road someone may download it on the side and not know there was a post to reply to.

"general hack conversation" would be the following threads that I see right now:
- "vbhackers.com" just announcing a website about hacking (I guess this could be a [RELEASE] prefix thing =)
- "Icons at the top...how do you change them?" not really a specific hack, but would be where I as a newbie would go to ask it.
