RE: [PHP] Suggest for List

April, There was a discussion like in 1999 (i remember cuz I was learning PHP then), and Richard Lynch (i think) had a good point that splitting the list would reduce the quality of the answers on the beginners list--PHP newbies answering each others questions, you see. Newbies should continue to post here. A tip: some developers preface their posts with something like: "newbie question". If you do this, you'll likely get flooded with friendly and helpful responses. Try it :) -Ben -----Original Message----- From: April [mailto:april@ponymail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 11:25 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Suggest for List I've been searching for a much smaller PHP beginners lists, away from the official one, because I know I'm much too beginner for this one. Everytime I post, I feel like I'm trying to snatch a cookie in full view of the headmistress, and probably going to get hit with her spoon for it. You'll always get the idiots posting to the advanced list, yeah, it happens. But I think that the quality of lists would generally go up for both advanced and beginning people - less interference and less pressure, respectively. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Boget, Chris" <Chris.Boget@wild.net> To: "'Chris Lee'" <lee@mediawaveonline.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 12:42 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Suggest for List > > Good idea, I agree, this would be nice.
