Obviously I did think it was interesting, or I wouldn't have posted. And as it turns out other subscribers thought it was interesting too, I now have no free GMail accounts left. All were given to php-general subscribers in no time flat. Imagine that. I try to be generous and people treat me like I killed someone. Whatever.

Pffft. First, this list is not the appropriate place for pointless flames. Instead of being rude about your off-topic post, he asked politely for these types of discussions to be taken elsewhere, and he even provided you with such a place. You respond by being an ass. See the problem? Take this behaviour elsewhere. It is not welcome here. If you really want to use this list to distribute something that you think might be interesting to the subscribers, please use a few lines of your signature. As long as you're a legitimate participant, you will eventually send a meaningful email to the list, and your signature will be seen.

Exactly.. you probably don't use a threaded email client, else you might have noticed the thread was on-topic when I started it. The recursion is killing me here. Need a GMail account? I do use a threaded client, actually. You're the one who didn't notice I replied to someone other than yourself. When I replied I was trying to provide a pointer that would help out anyone who might have been interested by your thread, and at the same time, end it. Hypocrasy.. all you wanted was the last word. The last word? Well, yeah. I did say I was trying to end the thread. It's a PHP list. If javascript related questions don't belong here (and there were a few just today that were ended with such a reply), then neither do gmail invite threads. Yeah, well.. you'll get over it. Just for clarity, I don't personally have a problem with javascript questions on this list. Sometimes they're pretty closely tied to something someone is trying to do in PHP. I've never asked that a javascript thread be taken off list. Unless you're working on PHP gmail APIs (as I bet someone is), gmail isn't at all tied to PHP. Once again though, I didn't reply to your email. Your gmail invite email (whose subject line was "gmail accounts", not "print() vs echo()", in case you'd forgotten) did have it's token I-better-throw-in-some-PHP content, after all. BTW, trying to stay on-topic here.. did you prefer echo or print in PHP? Some of us old Perl guys kinda like print sometimes instead of echo. How about you? Yeah, just like that. At any rate, I'm done with this thread now. In case you haven't had your fill of flaming someone for asking that the list be kept on topic, try one of the half dozen other authors of emails to that effect that have come through the list in the last day or two.
