Each user should invest time in order to compensate for the time not invested by the developers in making a more helpful interface. At least an integrated interface that doesn't consist of an array of separate scripts.
unix *is* the integrated interface. perl scripts, shell scripts, procmail. this *is* the interface, and is why unix is so powerful. its like having M$ COM at your fingertips... literally.
when you understand this, if you care to (this isn't an affront, many people choose not to care), then things will make more sense.
if you don't like this eminently flexible, and well thought through interface, then use something else. you're complaining to people who think smartlist is just fine the way it is. iow, your words are falling on deaf ears.
I have said several times that, if I could use something else, I would do so. To make it more clear, I would jump at the chance. This is the only list manager that my hosting service offers me. Now that I know that this is not a forum for discussion of SmartList, but an Amen corner, I can relieve your evident anxiety: not having any Amens to offer, I won't post again. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel
