Thanks for all the fish.

My husband had a problem with the ballot, too (he ended up sending an e-mail, correctly, I hope) and his name has an apostrophe.

Am I supposed to be unable to have a number less than five in my refresh box in Message Centre now? Because it was still set to three today. I've changed it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

ita did the changes manually, so you might've just been missed.

Fair enough if it was manual manual. But if there was some kind of programmatic "update users set update_time = 5 where update_time < 5" then something went wrong with it, I'd say.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

what happens if one of the vars contains a dot itself? I'm sure I'm barking up the wrong tree but it could explain it.

No idea, but as Elena pointed out, it's not just dots so I don't think that's it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

John, I think it's the regexp:

"/^([a-z ]*^<)?([a-z0-9._-])+@([a-z0-9.-])+(\\.)([a-z]{2,4})(>)?$/i"

for checking a valid e-mail address that's choking on name punctuation.

Oh, OK, that makes sense, but why is that checking people's names -- because we're doing them in the form:

John H <johnh@blah.com>

or something?

So just chuck out the nice bit and just reduce it to the bare address is the quick solution.

Yes, that's what we're checking.

I can't read the regexp well enough to know what to toss, though. Just the other modules that'll need to be changed.
