I don't think you need to go away. If you have actually tried to find an
answer to your problem, then by all means post it to the list. I made
mention of this before but, Copernic is a good search tool, I think the url
is http://www.copernic.com.
The problem is when people don't try and find the answer to the problem. I
have had trouble finding things on the Internet relating to php and had to
ask the list for help. And sometimes they are pretty basic things, but what
can you do if you can't find what you looking for. There is a difference
between lazy posters and people who are trying. It is difficult to be a
newbie, but this list isn't going away, you don't have to unsubscribe, some
people may bitch but a lot of people are willing to help.
My biggest beaf with all mailing lists is people that put things like, "A
Question" in the subject of a message. That is so annoying to me. THEY ARE
ALL QUESTIONS!
Good Luck,

Ahem. Well, can somebody tell me if there _is_ a list for questions like
"I'm trying to do whatever, and I've looked in the manual but I can't find
anything like I need"? I for one newbie _have_ looked for more than "Eeew
thirty seconds" at both the online manual and several books, and found
nothing like I wanted, written a great long write-around, only to discover
later from this list that there is a neat little function hidden away
somewhere that does exactly what I want.
I'm happy to go away, but I would like somewhere to go.
Thanks for your time ;-)
