Given that so many Swedes feel the need to "correct" my wife's English--always wrongly, I might add--just because she's Asian, I've got to where I don't trust random ACs offering to "correct" my Swedish very much. Usually it's because they don't really understand English nearly as well as they pretend to. A bit like you, I suspect.
The guy said, "4-digit ID" and my ID does in fact have 4 digits. I'm sorry if that bothers you.
Basically, I signed up for this account within the first couple of weeks that you could do so back in 1997, and I've had it ever since. I'm guessing that you got yours sometime in 2004 or 2005?
The problem is that a number of publishers went forward with PHP 6 books - likely to try to stay ahead of the competition. Check Amazon. There's a bunch.
I can confirm that there's a book, listed on Amazon under my name as author, but never actually written, for exactly this reason. The publisher went ahead and told Amazon it'd be available on such-and-such a date, then cancelled the project a month or so later. They apparently didn't bother to tell Amazon about this before going into receivership a month or two after that.
For a couple of years afterwards, I had to explain to people that, no, the book didn't actually exist and that I've no control over what Amazon put on their website. I even tried contacting Amazon about this, and their response was that they'd have to hear from the publisher to do anything about it. So 6 or 7 years later... it's still there, but the subject is now sufficiently out of date that no-one asks about it anymore.
You're not the only one. And, yes, webmail sucks balls.
Figures that the morons who've taken over at Mozilla the last couple of years want to ditch the thing that works well in order to focus their efforts on finishing the job of turning the thing that they've been fucking up more into a complete WTF.
Sigh. Yet another "technical ideologist". Thing is, most of those have no clue about technology itself, but tout an ideal in which each and every decision is taken on "technical grounds". Which end up, for the above reason, by being just disguised gut feelings.
Know what? To do a good job, you should start by differentiating between your gut feelings and technical things (*both* are necessary and useful, but by all means, know which is which). If you can't muster that, you should steer clear of science and engineering.

Can you show us differently? Then please do. Seriously! I'd like to know, because my posting history prior to December 2008 has Gone Away.
(Someone figured this out and posted it here a while back, but I can't find that now, either.)

Be careful what you wish for.
Bzzzzzt--WRONG.
You have no "right" to drive a motor vehicle on public roads. The laws of most if not all US states make it quite clear that driving is a privilege.
But it's not the government taking your money, so that makes it perfectly okay.
"Jag brukade bo"--inte "Jag brukade leva".
If it helps: I've a 4-digit ID, I went through a very nasty divorce about 15 years ago, and I concur with Thunderf00t.
Back doors eventually become front doors.

Wow, a -1, Informative. First time for everything, heh.
Darn, I was just starting to enjoy your work, seemed to shaping up nicely.
It's a big nest of two-bit websites, each of which says, "The proof is HERE"--with "HERE" being a link to some other two-bit website that says,...
IOW, it's a circle-jerk of folks who failed high-school physics.
Yeah, this looks to be an emerging circle-jerk not unlike those found amongst the vaccine and chemtrails nutters.
In that case, I strongly advise you not to do any searches on "chemtrails".
FAIL. ('Twas none of my doing.)
Better luck next time.
+1, noble effort.
Trans is Latin for "other side of; beyond"; cis is "this side of; within". E.g. cislunar.
"Cisgender" is a neologism, but I see nothing wrong with that, given that "transgender" has only been around since the 1980s.
And what's with the veiled hate/disgust thing? Remind me never to invite you to a showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Absolutely not me.
Almost wish it was, though.
You forgot the "...apk", genius.
Even my 79-year-old mother uses Thunderbird. and she's scared of computers.

Privacy and openness have nothing to do with boneheaded UI changes and constant breakage of extensions.
If you like Chrome that much, you could, you know, just use... Chrome.
