Hi Gilby,

it?s good to see you?re still alive & typing

What you suggested is what I already did. You know that "The good, the bad & the ugly...?" Guess the people on our german newsservers are very familiar with that and they insist to match the standard how a ng-post should be. That?s the reason for all the flames we receive...

And this nationwide standard (uh...have I told you that I?m talking about german newsgroups, yet..?) a post has to have two things:

- a proper emailadress to reach the poster and to retrace the post back to the poster

The second one is the thing I mentioned about the signature.
If a post is delivered to a ng via a gateway there has to be an adress for technical questions or in case of abuse. That?s why I suggested the quoted signature..

Okay...I read that you?ve got other projects and your time to give support to this hack is running out.
Don?t know how to say it...but would it be very impudent to ask you if you could do these minor changes for the europeans here on board .. ?

I would do it on my own - be sure - but I?m just not good in coding...umm..that means most of the time php looks to me like a bunch of celtic cuneiform script mixed with oxford english.... :alien:

Any chance you could look into it on a short moment between riding your doublewheeled unicycle und the shower ? (Btw: unicycling looks completely arduous the way you do it )

Thanks for stopping by !
