But the number of actual on-topic questions invovling PHP and HTML or PHP and JS is pretty dang low... So they'd still be off-topic, just on another list. And would anybody who knows enough to say they're off-topic even subscribe? Or would the lists just sort of wither and die and then we'd just get the same questions back here again? PS As a common courtesy, if you're going to tell somebody they are off-topic, a recommendation for where it might be on topic or some indication of what subject matter they ARE talking about would probably be much more useful than just "that's OT!" -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
