My two cents,
I
ve been on the list a month now and I think its really cool that
this type of thing exists.
I`m new to PHP, read all the posts that come through, and 98% of the
time don`t have a clue what is being spoken about, so the flaming and
other comments provide a welcome relief from my daily stress of working
this PHP thing out.
I learned the ins and outs of the list by reading all the posts, so I
guess this has helped me do my homework before simply requesting someone
give me an answer to a problem I could have solved simply by RTFM.
Anyone who cant handle sarcasm.....well.....thats another thing....
