I've monitored this list long enough to predict the most probable replies

without waiting someone to key them in.
Reply: There are forums on zend.com.
My Reply: zend.com != php.com.
R: There is a web interface for this mailing list.
MR: You cant' post new messages there, and it's just another way of
showing emails anyway.
R: There is a newsgroup interface.
MR: Yeah, I'm using it right now. But it requires special software, and is
terribly slow, unless you have very good connection and moderately powerful PC.
R: Forums suck, mailing lists rule.
MR: Not if you don't like receiving 200 messages + spam every day.
R: Synchronizing mail lists and forums is very difficult and nobody will
do it.
MR: There is no need to synchronize anything.
