The issue is that the proposed solution (a forum) does not solve irrelevant topics being mixed into a discussion about a different topic. It can be even worse, since many forums are single-threaded, and I haven't seem a threaded forum with good usability. Using a mailing list it *can* be done efficiently. Changing subjects when appropiate, not breaking the threads, etc. (Plus usage of smart tools, as has already been mentioned). But it needs the people participating in the discussion to collaborate in that. In the end, it is a social problem. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
