Fwd: [PHP-NOTES] RE: note 90855 rejected and deleted from install.windows by notes editor thiago

And to the notes list (instead of mirrors) where it belongs. Oops. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daniel Brown <danbrown@php.net> Date: Wed, May 13, 2009 at 21:06 Subject: Re: [PHP-NOTES] RE: note 90855 rejected and deleted from install.windows by notes editor thiago To: Don <dpharshman@dslextreme.com>, PHP Mirrors List <php-mirrors@lists.php.net>    Because we're all volunteers who devote as much time as we can, but we're all pulled in a billion directions.  And imagine the amount of work that goes into moderating a *forum* in addition to the user notes.    Besides, did you even look at the support page?  We run several mailing lists, and I'd recommend that you check out the php-general@lists.php.net mailing list for your specific problem. Then you could spend time constructively as opposed to complaining about how you wish things were.  ;-P    (P.S. - Despite the additional work, there have been several discussions, as recent as the beginning of this week, of adding a forum to the site.  So keep your eyes peeled.)
