G'day Michael, (I can't believe I'm _really_ replying to you:-) > I don't agree that we should make the list subscribers only, as this > would be a big drawback for newcomers to MySQL. €€€€ I'm a classic newcomer to mysql and have only been on the list for a week or so. It surprised me how much spam I received in that week via the list. I participate in 16 other lists and not one of them allows posting by non-subscribers.
Respectfully, I don't see having to be a subscriber as being a drawback to newcomers - although I concede the amount of traffic and the technical level of the posts can be somewhat daunting for a newbie. If someone wants to learn via a list they will, as I did, find the list addresses and subscribe. cheers kim PS. maybe there's room for a newbie level list for all us OSX users who are now discovering mysql and php:-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
