And is a post about posts not really real or does it have some sort of existential non-sameness? We could always demand that posts about posts have a PHP TIP or TRICK attached. I know of another mailing list that does this with regards to off-topic posts (requires the honor system). Someone even harvests the tips and re-posts them as a whole on a weekly basis.

Now Jay that is simply a ridiculous suggestion. Certainly we do not have too many posts about posts. Oh and by the way, whenever I'm creating the skeleton of a new class I will usually insert the following code snippet into the functions to let me know I have to come back and actually implement it later. if ($class = __CLASS__) { trigger_error(__CLASS__ . '::' . __FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING); } else { trigger_error(__FUNCTION__ . ' is not finished.', E_USER_WARNING); } -- Teach a man to fish...
