in reply to Deletions and the good of the community
Very valid points. And you're absolutely correct: I asked for the node to be deleted out of complete embarassment that I 1) would not look something up before posting and 2) would find the answer to be so trivial (to myself). In retrospect, while it is a silly question, I'm sure that someone will eventually come across it and go "Oh, so that's why it does that!"
At least I am living up to my sig.
If you make something idiot-proof, eventually someone will make a better idiot.
I am that better idiot. |

Well if you want, I have confirmed that you can make a plea to the gods to unreap the node, which will make it searchable.
You can then post your solution. I'll be the first one to upvote it :)
UPDATE: The gods will has been done Unnecessary tag attributes with CGI is now resurrected :).

Well, a poster can get downvoted for just about anything here... Especially for answering their own question. I can think of two situations where the answer was only apparent after 5-6 hours more coding. Posting the answer has almost always turned that into a negative node for me. (Even though the rest of the Monastery did not figure the problem out in that 5-6 hours...)
Of course replying with "RTFM" seems to be the best way to increase your positive nodes....
