Maybe people can't find what they need in the manual (with no offense meant to Nathan), even though they can search it on-line. I think most list owners who take the time to interact with LSTOWN-L have already gone through the on-line documentation and haven't gotten the answer they need. >I've been running hundreds of mailing lists in the last 12 years and I have >never wished for the ability to reject postings with more than x% of quoted >text, otherwise I would just have implemented it :-) It is possible that there >are mailing lists where this is an issue, there are so many mailing lists, but >people are not lining up to request this feature. So does that mean everything you put into Listserv has to meet your threshold of what's appropriate or else it's considered -- your word -- "stupid?" Assuming quote rejection is, in fact, a stupid idea, if it would only take "15 minutes to implement," I'd gladly pay your salary for a quarter hour to have you add it in. I have been involved with a mere 8 Listserv lists, and on all but one of them an excessive quoting rejection feature would be a miracle. I am sure the others who have discussed on LSTOWN-L their wish for such a feature will chip in a few bucks, too, for a quarter hour of your brainpower. :) In all, I am somewhat dismayed by what appears from your post to be L-soft's complacent perspective on the development and feature addition issue. I know that running a business involves balancing conflicting forces in pursuit of the best possible long-term bottom line, but if it's a case of letting users and potential customers "eat cake," then I'm really disappointed. I hope I'm wrong. -- John Witherspoon
