Sorry but the "project leads" don't need joe users making obvious suggestions. We've obviously made many previous releases and don't require a vague suggestion from someone to realize when it is time for a new one. Earnie's observations were spot on. As a project maintainer himself he knows what a waste of bandwidth these messages are. If his message will make someone think twice before sending something a similar "why don't you do your job" message then that's a good thing. cgf
