for instance, if I have 'A.pov' and 'A.inc', and the latter '#include's another
file ('filed.inc', in this particular situation), I have taken to writing in
'A.inc' eg:

#ifdef (global.fild_workingDir)
  ...
#end

would dropping the 'global' make an actual difference ?


regards, jr.

Sure. Whether the difference matters depends on - stuff.

(Above a MUCH shorter response than I tried to send a while ago from 
thunderbird. A response sitting in my sent folder, but thus far it has 
not shown up elsewhere? I this doesn't work, I'll ping you via email 
directly)

That showed up and I tried again to send my long response. It again is 
in my sent folder, but otherwise again went poof... :-(

Suppose beyond my thinking while writing it, my ramblings don't rate 
much for general value in any case.

I'm going to work on other stuff for a while. :-)

The spam filter ate it (and the previous). I'll try to work out what's triggering it
and either remove that factor or find a way to exempt your posts.

Thank you Chris.

I had the thought maybe my glitching head had dropped a 'bad word' into 
my rejected post. I carefully read what I'd sent again, but it all 
looked innocuous.

Made some coffee, took a few sips, and I thought to search on my 
playpen's fork name. Dang, a gazillion adult sites pop up. When I picked 
that name I saw only a few unimportant collisions on searching the web.

Well _____(a). I guess, moving to another fork name is now at the top of 
my to do list no matter the reason the spam filter tripped. What a pain.

Something obscure, z_4_  ?

Except, jr, wouldn't like having to use the shift key...

Bill P.

(a) - That was a bad word.

Don’t worry about renaming it yet, I need to run it through the spam filter
manually and find what specifically is tripping it up. Will do that today.

Chris,

FYI. I've started the work to rename the fork. I want to get away from 
from the adult site name in any case.

Once done, I'll try a post to povray.test of the original text, except 
with my new fork name. If it still gets rejected, I can find the issue 
myself with repeated posts to p.test. You can take this work item off 
your plate - except for any eventual spam filter update, should one 
still be needed.

Bill P.

ok. sorry didn't get to fix it, I've been clobbered with a particularly nasty variant
of the flu going around Australia right now. normally only takes me a few days to get
over a flu, approaching 10 days now.

I hope you're feeling better.

It was not my older fork name and I had not much luck in isolating the 
cause for the spam rejection.

It seems to be some longer span 'rejection rule match'.

See the rejected posts to povray.test with the Fourteenth (and 
Fifteenth) runs at the spam filter for the smallest posts I managed 
still getting rejected. Both about half the size of the original.

Get well. No rush.

Bill P.
