RE: [PHP] i thought this was a php developers list

I just suggest this list being a list on which people can share their knowledge and bring their skills to a higher level, or ask specific questions which you can't (easily) find elsewhere. Let subscribers at least take the tiny effort of checking their manual, searching the archives (if people don't find the archives easy enough to search, than this is a point for the site maintainers to work on) or checking the online faq. See http://www.php.net/support.php and http://www.php.net/manual/ Ofcourse I don't mind reading questions which have been answered before every now and then, or reading basic questions every now and then (php starters should ofcourse get the chance to be helped), but at the moment these questions, manual specific questions and questions for which other lists exist dominate the entire list and searching for a question cq answer of interest is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Therefore I have not been reading the list very much for quite some time except for the few questions at the top of my inbox and I have been at the point of unsubscribing for some time now (my collegue just did by the way). I'd therefore rather see -as i have noted before- that people at least try to think over there questions before posting and only post as there is no other (easy) way of finding out. That way you get the questions which do matter. Basic questions do matter as well, but you can find them elsewhere.

IMO, we could have an automated post every once in a while with an FAQ stating pointers to relevant resources. The welcome message should probably provide such pointers too.
