[PHP] Re: Attitude of B van Ouwerkerk From: Tom Malone (tom <email protected>)
Date: 07/31/01

I have to agree with Phil and Mr. van Ouwerkerk. I am a newbie too, and while
we may miss things in the manual that are obvious to more experienced
programmers, or ask questions that have been asked and answered in the list
over and over again (guilty here!), I believe an attempt should at least be
made to find the answer before asking the experts in the mailing list.
Newbies like myself should remember that most people who are subscribed to
this list are very busy with work and projects and are being quite generous
to contribute free advice to those of us who are less knowledgeable. Here are
some useful resources I turn to when I'm seeking a PHP-related answer:
