Perhaps a PHP-Personal, PHP-Fun or PHP-OT list could be set up for such discussions; heck, I might even subscribe to it.

Unfortunately, it's been discussed many times over the years, but never moves forward. I've seen messages from you here and there for years, Steve. I'm sure you're aware of it. Conversely, at the same time, for the number of years during which you've subscribed, you are not a heavy poster. To me, that says you filter out a large number of the messages you get from the list(s) as well. Point being, if and until there is a specific OT list where those of us involved in discussions here on a regular basis, I see no problem with one or two off-topic threads dedicated to facilitating that communication and keeping people interested.

Pull your head out of your arse Dan. There are plenty of lists on the World Wild Interweb where such discussions can and do take place. Such a list is not something the PHP community should provide even if you believe they owe it to you. Fact remains that this is waaaay off-topic for *this* list. If you want to start a list for pointless discussions you can easily do so on Google Groups, for free. You may even get some subscribers. I think we'd tolerate a single email from you announcing it. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
