My two cents, I`ve been on the list a month now and I think it`s really cool that this type of thing exists.
I`m new to PHP, read all the posts that come through, and 98% of the time don`t have a clue what is being spoken about, so the flaming and other comments provide a welcome relief from my daily stress of working this PHP thing out. I learned the ins and outs of the list by reading all the posts, so I guess this has helped me do my homework before simply requesting someone give me an answer to a problem I could have solved simply by RTFM. Anyone who can`t handle sarcasm.....well.....that`s another thing....
