You're probably being glib, but I don't think that being a dedicated,
professional PHP developer has much to do with being on any of the
lists. Most of the people I know who do serious work in PHP
subscribe to none of the lists.php.net lists. It's probably not the
best place to catch the pulse of the user-base. If anything, I'd
assume that your own pro-services group and consulting partners would
have better insight into what people are doing with PHP.
That's exactly what I was saying (in another part of the email). It
doesn't work in reverse order though - being on one of these lists does
usually mean that the developer is more 'hardcore' than others.
