I'd say [ANNOUNCEMENT] is fine... it's an easy regex ;). [ANNOUNCMENT] would be quite annoying, though! D'oh! My email client even includes a spell-checker (though it won't work on-the-fly... how passé ;) )... On Wednesday 08 October 2003 10:04 pm, Robert Cummings wrote: > On Thu, 2003-10-09 a

For those who don't remember, http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=106390994201654&w=2 Which brings up an good point. Robert had the courtesy to put [ANNOUNCMENT] in the header. Perhaps a "guideline" that says something like "Product announcements are acceptable, provided the subject is

For the record, in case anyone is misunderstanding me, I don't think commercial / F/OSS should matter in this regard. Product announcements are product announcments. Anyone else have an opinion? On Wednesday 08 October 2003 09:19 pm, Robert Cummings wrote: > On Wed, 2003-10-08 at 23:51, Evan
