Did I miss the meeting where you were elected talking head for the group?
....and like I said "I don't", which is clearly speaking for myself and
making no suggestion that anyone else wouldn't have a problem with it.
You'll also notice that, as I said, the original question wasn't even a
MySQL question... it was a terminal and/or DOS window question, which
obviously doesn't belong here, but since it was clear the OP had no idea
the scope of his own question, which group he posted it in is pretty much
irrelevant. I simply thought I'd give him an answer.
I'll make sure to check with you before I take action next time.
