Out on a limb here - does anybody else feel the same? If so, do you  
have a suggestion as to how we can better the quality of the list?

Please can this be closed? It's far off any standards related topic.

Yes, please.

The discussions of standards based solutions to various css- nd js- 
related problems are incredibly useful, and esoteric debates about  
the semantic value of various html tags are fascinating, but there  
does seem to be a growing tendency to submit general web technical  
questions that really have no place here.


On occasion I have replied to PHP questions off list, usually  
referring to other available resources - perhaps it would be better  
to make that reply on the list, and then have the moderators  
immediately close the topic?


As for Web 2.0, browsing the results of a Google search could  
surely tell more than anyone could possibly want to know on the  
subject...

I totally agree with you.

This is the very first time that I post here, I'll try to be more active and
participate with quality replies.

Greetings from Mexico.
