I said that you agreed that rejecting it just because it is never used is not a good reason. I can quote you on that :) The problem is rather with the wording of the error message. It would be better to say 'expected' instead of 'required'. If it were really required that is meant the program would exit on rejection, but it does not since it is not really required. It just prints a warning that something _could_ be wrong. >I guess you just print that message anytime you get a "rejected", without >looking to see whether what was rejected was really required. I can't blame >you for that. Most people probably just ignore both the "accepted" and >"rejected" commands. :-) I like this very much because each time a user has trouble I can point out that message to them and tell them it is because their interface is broken, and that they should go bother you instead. j/k :) -- GCP
