    Zeev,

    don't worry.

    Mailing lists aren't black holes (and Friday is a working day
    in most parts of the world). People can catchup by using NNTP
    or retrieving emails from the archive.

    Naturally, discussions slow down on Saturday/Sunday, so I
    don't expect to get any replies before Monday anyway.
The problem is that most people won't respond because they won't see what to respond to. If it waited for 5 years, it can wait a couple of more days. Friday afternoon is a pretty bad time to start a new active mailing list. Most PHP developers don't do this full time, which means that even if they're at work, it doesn't mean at all that they're reading php-dev@. Working on the spec is fine, but the discussions themselves should wait... Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> CTO, Zend Technologies Ltd. http://www.zend.com/
