Usually tag-syntax/usage is discussed more on the basic Zope list, but to be honest, I've always found the distinctions between the two blurred: people who use Zope sometimes post on dev, people who develop products and/or patches sometimes post on Zope-general, and people are developing _On_ Zope seem to choose one via the close-my-eyes-and- point technique. Also, occasionally a random monkey will Spam one or both lists, resulting not only in complaints and searches for a collar/muzzle for the monkey, but the hiding of all bananas in site. What is worse, though, is when a monkey brings up a licensing issue/argument/troll on either list - this usually results in the sad shaking of heads by all other monkeys viewing the dispute for the umpteenth time, and a lot of worthless Spam filling the list as monkeys who should be doing something useful (coding, bug-finding, and grooming their friends for fleas) waste effort by arguing the same old arguments first heard in 3E10 BC when Grog couldn't decide whether to share Fire with Bant and the rest of the tribe, keep it to himself quietly, or patent it and one-click shopping. (He decided inventing the patent office would take too long...) Anyway, enough silly humor - I don't think your posts are off-topic, especially since the issues raised do end up revealing a deficiency (in my opinion!) in ZSQLMethods - the legality of unsafe <dtml-var> tags.

Not taken as being harsh from where I stand! The more we know...the better! Thanks for the guidelines and the URL. It has been passed on to the group that handles the MySQL on our server. Have not started using it for Production, but will be soon.

From a recent post, I noticed that this topic might be better suited for the normal Zope list. Would this be accurate? Comments welcome on accepted topics.

Thanks

Allen
