Oh, fair comment - when I was reading that, I misread the statement - I was
meaning for an administrator/developer.

Oh yes it is true - according to other people's comments and my own
experience.

Cate is my real name, (as stated at the end of my email, if you bothered to
read it) and I never use my last name because I have formerly been cyber
stalked - if you don't want to read my posts as a result, that's fine -
although obviously you read this one - I am still not going to put my name
out there willy nilly. Sorry if you are offended by this... if you feel that
me not sharing my last name with you impairs your ability to trust me, feel
free not to.

And Peter is my husband's real name, and likewise, we don't broadcast his
last name for privacy reasons. He is also in web design, and we share this
email - hence "Cate & Peter" *is* our real name.

As for "prashant" ... how on earth do you know if that is not a real name
... I know several Indian and other people with similar names, so I am not
going to make such a judgement.

Which is exactly what I said, and you chose to disagree with!

There is a bit of an attitude at times that things are "clearly stated" ...
and sometimes they are ... but sometimes, especially when you are learning,
you don't even know what you should be looking for, and in this case, it is
not at all clear for the person searching.

Which just means that what I said, stands ... the mailing lists are good,
but if you ask a question that other people believe to be obvious, you may
not get an answer.
