Thank you Matt
The value of a specifically defined list is adherence to that set of
definitions. Let's hold to the _standards_ of the list as much as we
can please. Although, saying that, I find it good to be helpful... so
am one of the goodwill exploitees, yes.
One thing though, in the desire to hold to standards, conflicts arise
in the creation of code, so we DO have to occasionally debug in order
to solve, don't we?

With no offense intended to the list moderators, I feel the
usefulness of this mailing list is diminishing due to an increase
in irrelevant and lazy postings.
The majority of people on this list are genuine web developers, who
care for the future of the Web and the place Web Standards has in
it. But there seems to be a small number of people who think they
can simply post their problems to this list without consulting any
other reference.
Basic CSS problems, PHP syntax and even spam help are just a sample
of some of these questions that can, and should be either found
quickly by a number of popular resources or even a quick search in
Google. Instead, they lazily exploit the goodwill of many in this
list who are kind enough to visit their site and fix their problems.
With the number of these increasing there is no wonder why people
are leaving this list (and publicly doing so).
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.
Possibly the only thing I can see as a relevant part of the 'Web
2.0 movement' is the abstraction of the presentational information
from data on a page, which isn't being discussed here.
If posting an off-topic message, please at least mark it as such so
the rest of us can hit the delete button without checking it first
for relevant information!
Kind regards,

That's art, Kat, design is different.
And design is a significant part of the web.

That's an interesting thought. Is Web 2.0 larger than the web
itself? Has it become an art movement/period, in the same way as
Modernism, Post-Modernism, Humanism, Impressionism, etc?
