when you post the same question to
more than one mailing list (especially when done
at the same time).

alot of the people who regularly read/post on php-generals
also watch other php related mailing lists (I for one
am also subscribed to the Smarty list - actually I'm subscribed
to nearly all the php lists :-P)

as a sidenote - always try to show that you have researched your
problem properly - chances are people will be _much_ more willing to help
you (regardless of how simple the question might be for people who
have been playing the web/php game for a while :-)

and don't take it too personally if you get an occasional STFW or RTFM,
consider it like medicine - it tastes bad but its good for you :-)
