it isn't

thanks for taking it to that extreme, matt, because now it should be
abundantly clear why deleting from joined tables should not work -- you're
missing a join condition, so every row of tblAdvise will be joined to every
row of tblEmails, and in particular, if $email exists in either table, then
the delete should wipe the other table out completely!!

sorry adrian, i have no idea what &death is
