Maybe i should've added this too: The question is asked because an outright and absolute refusal of the former means that i'd need to stop spending time here and look into other, less wholesome, venues; since a lexical-only fix for this is flat out use- and pointless. But as long as the possibility is not entirely ruled out i'll happily forge forward here and do anything needed to convinve people that it would be a Good Thing™. So the question is really a binary one on the possibility itself. -- With regards, Christian WaldeThread Previous | Thread Next
