Re: keeping traffic on this list manageable

Hi, So some core developers as well as lurking end users have noted that the traffic on this list prevents them from being able to follow this list. This is obviously a huge problem since this mailinglist is supposed to be our primary discussion and decision making tool. <snip>

Personally, I'm an end user who reads the list because I care about the direction PHP is taking. However, I have rarely had the need to post to any of the mailing lists. In any case, the traffic on the list is not a problem for me - because I access it through NNTP (news.php.net) and it never clogs my inbox. I personally think mailing lists are an awful way to maintain a set of many concurrent discussion threads, and NNTP is far superior. If you severely dislike receiving a lot of irrelevant e-mail, then maybe give news.php.net a try instead? That way, you can just browse the lists in a threaded view whenever you feel like it. Works well for me, anyway - but then, I'm not a PHP developer, so maybe the story is different. Jeremy
