Didier, It's not that people object to stupid questions being posed - or, indeed poor use of English. Some of the best responses to queries I've seen are from people for whom English is not their first language.
What people do object to is questions being posed to the incorrect lists - I'm sure there are plenty of forums and mailing lists dedicated to both the areas you are keen to investigate. These will undoubtedly be the better sources of information. By keeping the lists dedicated to specific areas, even where these can interact, the lists are kept to more manageable proportions. Good luck with your explorations. Michael Egan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
