i've been where shel has been though. w/lamp is almost a consolidated
subject. however, if you have a question about something *other than* apache
or php, you could wait for days getting a response. there are a scarce few
who use php on windows but plenty of windows usenet groups. however, if you
post your question here about php/windows config, you'll get a quick
response - if you weed out the jerry stuckle diatribes. same for
mysql...there just aren't many people checking that group as regularly -
much less, qualified respondents.

just ignore those to whom you think should post elsewhere. i mean, not
getting a response is the reason for shel (or others) to post the question
here in the first place. right?

the only time i have a problem is when it is clear the op has NOT rtfm
and/or posts ot here without the thought of posting elsewhere more
appropriate to the nature of the question. as it is, shel has pased both my
criteria here...so, i tried to give the best answer i could in the most
polite fashion i could.

cheers.
