But it´s for a good reason. most us who are faced with such repeated questions occassionally lose it, the frustration caused is a real reason for people to become cranky in the face of the never ending barrage of questions (of the ilk you pointed out) ... but it's not a *good* reason - it's never a good thing to let oneself get stressed out by the thing that one is confronted with - that said I certainly understand your sentiment ;-) > > Good PHPíng. > > P.S.: My suggestion is to send a message explaining that to every member > that joins the list. it wouldn't be the first or last suggestion of it's kind - unfortunately I'm quite sure that such a thing will not be implemented, mostly because the list is neither admin'ed nor moderated by anyone (IIRC Rasmus Lerdorf occasionally steps in to fix some techincal issues when the list goes completely tits up - other than that the list 'just is' - and I don't think anyone is expecting Rasmus or someone with a similar level of karma [in the php group's server/system] to take on such tasks as your suggestion implies, unfortunately they too only have 24 hours in each day :-P) such is life - onwards and upwards to the next newbie post about trying to run a php function when he/she clicks a link :-) > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
