Well, you could do what the sunmanagers mailing list does...every so
often (every month? every other month?) a 95KB FAQ is sent to all
subscribers. However, the main problem is getting people to READ it.
And those people likely to read it are probably the same people who'd
do the requisite
You aren't required to be subscribed to post to the list, so if you are
not subscribed you will not see the FAQ or the discussion about how to
post properly.
You could make it be sent in the confirmation email when someone first

First of all I comply with all my previouse poster.
For all the readers of this list I'd suggest to read the following
article:
How to ask questions the smart way at
http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html
It's an instruction booklet on how to ask questions on lists like this.

Hi,
I'd have to agree with the original poster on this topic - I've been on
this list for about 3 years now, at times it is helpful - and then
there's
every other day.
Granted, there are guru's out there that know all there is to know
about
PHP, and then there's the new kid

Cheers...

I mostly lurk -- my level of participation depends on what I'm working on.
I do have these observations:
1. Far too many people don't try to help themselves first, i.e., by doing
some creative searching /reading of (primarily) the manual.
2. A serious question usually gets prompt and helpful

I lurk more than contribute. I'd contribute more (within the limitations
of my knowledge) with more time. Being a fairly high volume list, I
understand the frustration of considerably OT posts. I feel the list is
not particularly suited to those both new to PHP and to programming.

A little row every now and then is colorful and makes work less boring.
It also keeps you company if you are working alone.
Keep up any rude behavior, it's fun to watch.

hi all,

there should be a automated way to email all the new users about what php
is, that explain them that php is server side and it can't do client side,
just a plain email will do this will certinaly minimize the no of off topic

We subscribe to a few email lists on various languages.
This list would have to be the worst for anyone learning
- the amount of sarcasm and flaming that goes on is huge.
Just try and remember - everyone has to learn,
if you feel a question is off topic or stupid - ignore it,
theres no need
for a list that is not moderated i think it's doing quite well.
this isn't a service so you get what you pay for ;)
cheers,

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
