But is it approropriate on the 3 newsgroups mentioned?

If there was a
- php.databases
- php.beginners
- php.windowsSpecifig

And a beginner crosspost a starter question here I woul understand this is
frawned upon.

But the 3 php groups
-alt.comp.lang.php
-comp.lang.php
-alt.php

have the exact same purpose and they are in existance cause not all people
can get them.

Mabye its time to merge these groups into 1 cause I think they are here for
historical reasons.

For now how do you decide where to post a php question?


Cheers,
