This presumes one only uses php for web development... really it can be used 
for scripting and gui applications as well. Heck, I even heard of some 
company trying to use it for database procedural work.  

More on point, why would you seperate web developer questions from other 
questions? And how? Not being able to connect to postgres from a webserver is 
pretty much the same issue as not connecting from anything else. Or what 
about someone using dbd:pg from a script, vs. someone using it to write a 
cgi? 

*shrug*

I'm subscribed to both, so it doesnt affect me much, but I don't see much 
benefit to having that list as it stands now (and the traffic is pretty low 
anyway)
