% No need to reply if you do not want to answer this question guys. Especially
Well, that's a difference of opinion. There are lots of valid questions
that I don't want to answer, and I don't reply to those, but there is
also a bunch of junk that creeps in here and there, and I, for one, very
much want to keep it out. I get just over 1k messages per day with the
highest concentrations of them in the php, perl, and mutt lists and I
really wish I could give more attention to just those groups but they're
swamped as it is. If we allow off-topic posts in this mailing list (like
any other that's supposed to be tightly focused), the signal-to-noise
ratio will go down and I'll have to spend more time wading through junk
to get to good stuff.
Mohit wasn't made an example of, flamed to a crisp, or hung out to dry;
he[*] was simply told, with explanation, why he should ask that question
on another list (and, note, it is both for his benefit as well as "ours"
here on the list!). And now you're getting the same treatment :-)
% if you want to be rude at the person. Also remember that Apache and PHP
Of course, rudeness is in the eye of the beholder, so it's tough to
determine what is and what isn't. I don't think any of the responses
that came through the list were rude. Ryan's was just humorous :-)
% compliment each other very well, so Apache deserves a little respect too. If
Oh, I very much respect Apache. I respect Perl, too, and I've heard some
interesting things about Python, and I really love motorcycles and water
skiing. Does this in any way mean that we should open up this already-busy
list to other topics? Gee, I would just *love* to wade through posts solely
concerning ASP and/or javascript since I don't use those at all; I guess
I must have been pretty naive to expect php-related conversation on a php
list, eh?
As I said in my first reply, if his Apache post had *anything* to do with
PHP then we'd be much more interested in it, but as it is he should just
go and ask on an Apache list and get his purely-Apache-and-not-at-all-PHP
problems sorted out.
% anyone feels like they would like to answer this Apache question then you
% can do so without submitting it to the entire list.
On *that* point we very much agree!
Since I'm in lecture mode, I might as well go ahead and ask that you not
top-post a reply and leave the entire previous text hanging on underneath
since it's a terrible waste of bandwidth, time, and efficiency. You
might surf over to http://learn.to/quote :-)
[*] or she, as the case may be; I apologize in advance if I am in error
HTH & HAND
