Re: Re: Web Service Interface to PHPList

Hi, Dennis.

I hate to admit to this, but I've stopped using phplist.  The 
painfulness of my last mailing (where clicktracking and the sending of 
mail blocked each other, plus some other challenges that were partly of 
my own doing) was something that I decided I didn't want to experience 
again.  I've moved to a commercial (i.e., paid-for) package to do my 
mailings.

This means I'm not really going to be much help on further flushing out 
the API.  Sorry.

I have positive feelings for phplist (and thanks, Michiel, for all your 
great work on it), but right now I find that I'd rather pay someone else 
to solve the problems, rather than do it all myself.  Hopefully this 
will work out - maybe I'll be back.

Best luck to all.

- Pete
