I am not sure who runs the list, whether they care about off-topic posts, or whether anyone else cares about it.

The php lists are only loosely moderated, but comments like yours usually bring things under control. I'd refer you to my recent post thought as to why the current threads are not that far off topic ;)

Indeed, that thread is one that is on topic... but I think the signal-to-noise ratio on this list is rather poor ;) If I'm the only one bothered by it, it's no big deal for me to unsubscribe... I just thought I'd check the general opinion first. I don't run into these problems on the internals list... :-)

In reality there are probably too many lists and none are policed particularly well. My email setup strips each to it's own folder so I can simply ignore things if I want, but occasionally something pops up which needs redirecting. We have a firebird php list which handles the firebird and interbase drivers so those sort of enquiries get redirected. But I must have a clean out some time. The first message on this list is 1999 ... and I have some older lists still archived :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
