And the ones that hijacked the thread with personal agenda's regarding
autoresponders aren't being jerks? Was there a single question about how
to write an autoreponder ? And if not, why hijack a thread starting out
by basically saying "We don't know anything about your script, but will
assume you wrote it wrong. Therefore you don't know what you are doing
and shouldn't write it." They were just as rude as you took my
"confusing" statement to be but they were more straight forward with
their insults. Amazing thought processes!
