Who wrote this part? You've stripped the proper attributions. I have
no idea who "Joey" is (there are at least 2 DDs who it could be).
It's impossible to carry on a discussion if you can't follow basic
email etiquette. [ hint: if you are complaining about a flame, using
a flame to do it is probably not the best solution ]
Finally, please do go read the archives. The "we need to fix the
release mechanism and here's my s00per-d00per method to do it" thread
arrives here every few weeks. It';s hard to believe anyone has
anything new to say at this point.
