As I mentioned to you, I did it last night, and it had the same text that is/was in yours *sigh* ---- Marc G.

Is there anyway to find out who actually rejected your message and why? And why Chris' was subsequently accepted? It seems really incomprehensible that our announcement from you of all people was rejected in the first place. We should try to find that out before we mention the faux pas to other media. --elein On Tue, Nov 18, 2003 at 10:31:24PM -0400, Marc G.

Unless you know somebody out there personally, it does not work AFAIK.. Shridhar

Also remember that /. is an Opinion site, not news. So they have the "right" to accept or reject whatever they wish. Based on timing, I think that Cowboy Neal rejected the first two posts, but then the shift changed and Michael accepted Chris' post. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
