If you've been around the net for a while you've been subscribed to a few thousand mailing lists.  I'm on a few big mailing lists now that host more than a few thousand users.  Sooner or later some guy on the list will go on vacation and instead of just letting email sit in their inbox he's nice enough to respond to all his email - with a form letter!  Usually in the shape of:  "I'm on vacation.  I'll be back in January."  Of course they're stupid enough to apply this to *every* folder in their inbox and so everytime someone posts or replies to the list this message is sent out to one of every three thousand posters.

Luke Welling takes a humorous look at something he misses in PHP - register globals being set to on.

Q: I have an unmarried employee who's made a conscious decision to become pregnant. I'm happy for her, but I'm unsure of the proper protocol for making a pregnancy announcement. The pregnant employee wants others to feel comfortable in asking about her pregnancy, but she also doesn't want to upset our generally conservative environment.

Although frankly I really didn't feel the need to read the entire thread, I can tell you that the posting to the PHP 3 mailing list is related to the Smarty Templating Engine back in the day. In fact, I believe this was the original spec Andrei proposed before Smarty even existed. Although I don't remember the exact e-mail, this posting reminded me that there was a point in time I thought exactly this way... quoting myself:

Instant messages. Text messages. E-mail. Voicemail. Blogs. Online social networks. And the good old cellphone. If you thought there were enough ways to communicate with others and express yourself, think again.

Patrick Reilly has posted about a new group that's being formed in the PHP world - a PHP Evangelism Team designed to help promote the language.   The goal of the PHP Evangelism Team is to bring together the right people, resources and experience from across the PHP Community to provide developers with the process guidance and best practices needed to create new opportunities for the web.   They're also looking to help support local user groups and aid in any PHP-related event they can. You can subscribe to their mailing list to get more information as the group develops. Check out the post for the address to join the list.
