None of them were in a state indicating that the developer could not reproduce nor were they waiting for more info. Given that situation, I didn't see a need to add more to a known problem. *IF* any of them had been looking for test cases, I would have been happy to build a test system and turn it over to the developer in question. We do that fairly routinely. And please stop with the loaded language. I'm not asking anyone to work for me. I am suggesting that it is perhaps too early to EoL 6.2 because 6.3 isn't ready yet. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
