I'm sorry your ISP doesn't support comp.database.mysql or other mysql
newsgroups. But you can still access them through Google Groups.
And where in this newsgroup's name do you see "MYSQL"? Or where in your
inquiry did you even reference "PHP"?
It's not a knee-jerk reaction. Rather, it's trying to keep this
newsgroup to PHP questions like it is intended.
In this and a lot of other newsgroups, if you ask an off-topic question
and you will be told about it.
And it doesn't matter if you agree with Zach or not. He's new to this
newsgroup and obviously doesn't understand how this newsgroup works yet
(his first post was three days ago where he admitted he is a new PHP
user). Rather, you should be listening to people like Rik and Rami, who
have been on here much longer.
