Yup I agree.
I participated on the Irish PHP list for a while last year, and for a
country with a very similar population to NZ there wasn't even remotely
the same amount of activity or useful discussion on the PHP list as this
one. Not even close.
I think it would be fair to say I have saved thousands of dollars
through the use of this list - being that I can get a quick answer to a
problem that isn't so easily found in other places (eg Google). The off
topic discussions are often of as much value to me personally as the on
topic stuff.

I wanted to mention somethingin defense of Aaronin the other post. The
reason that we have the amount of OT posts here that we have is that
this listis comparatively helpful and large for our size of
population. I think this is something we can be proud of rather than
reject. Most of the OT posts are also database or (should be in web)
software related, so I think OT could bein the eye of the beholder.
There is no such resource for .net in this country and I know from
participating in one of 2 (you wonder why) german lists that some
people greet every question with "read the FAQ".
I enjoy reading most OT posts, flamewars excluded.
