Heads up!
It's a reasonable question I think
*start of rant*
Considering all the other dribble that other members post...and the fact that I only have 1550 some odd posts...I think your claim or statement is *highly* unjustified...
Posting un-nessecary content??? aka: Overwhelmed by new, long, drawn out threads???
I find rather offensive and completely out of line...
I don't "typically" ask questions involving programming...like:
"why are my headers not being sent"...or
"what is wrong with this code"...
I try to stick to details, giving my opinion only when someone else has before me...
I am a stickler for details...so yes...if someone says something wrong...especially in a authoritative way...and I happen to know better...I will publically correct them...and I expect the same in return.
I cannot help but feel (based on PM's or public out cry by an "open communities" team of moderators) that I am being demonized, vilonized...and perhaps osterisized.
And mostly for just doing what *everyone* else on these boards does...
Please, I ask you to show me an instance where I have done wrong and I will show you similar wrong doings by 2 other members...in addition to that...I find instances where they didn't get flamed publically for it, nor increse notority.
My long winded disscussion about template engines was justified...and I understand some of your feelings being hurt (as Smarty/TL advocates) and wanting to go against experience and reason. Thats fine.
But I'm also tired of being public enemy number one on all but a few moderators hit list. I am human and I have the same rights you all have maybe even more or less depending on your geographical location I guess.
You cannot (in the spirit of openess) stop me from posting content...at least which I post...I haven't broken any laws or gone against any agreement. I don't share serial keys, illegal software copies or even nude photos with any member.
I stay within confines of what I consider fare/fair and justified terms or use.
So please, do me a favour...if you are a moderator (unless your name is Everah

) and you wish to publically slam me so others can see how "bad" I am, bite your tongue...or your finger tips in this case. I don't wanna hear it.
If I do something which warrants my permanent banning, then ban me, but make sure you bring to my attention the reason behind it or I'll just come back as someone else.
I can't help but laugh while writing this. I can't believe I'm being condemed for something which everyone is likely guilty of.
Boooo moderator monkeys...if this is a public community the people in power should be elected...and IMHO that hasn't happened. Clearly it hasn't happened.
Can I call an election and run for leadership myself?

Can I have a list of the email addresses of all the people who have signed up at devnetworks.net?
I had more to say, but I started getting political...and to ethically keep this thread alive I decided to drop that and stick with context...
I was just hoping someone had links to such data...of course I searched Google...but I always use *as many resources as I can* in everything I learn or do...
I wasn't looking for someone to Google for me...but hoping someone had found a link previously in a business journal or something similar and cared to share with me...
Geeees...you guys are way to sensitive
*end of rant*
