Polutan, are you looking at the same CakePHP email list archive that I
am looking at?? Gmail shows me the following # of responses for the
most recent ~30 email threads:
3, 0, 1, 6, 10, 4, 5, 9, 5, 0, 5, 1, 9, 8, 1, 2, 4, 6, 6, 0, 3, 5, 9,
2, 3, 0, 0, 2
I see a few with 0 responses, some with 2 or 3, and many with 5-10. So
it seems like "most questions are answered" contrary to your original
claim. Are you seeing something different that the rest of us?? Or are
you claiming that most of these responses do not actually answer the
question(s) that are posed?
