PHP developers won't care how you would access something via activerecord any 
more on a -wwwdev list than they would on -general.

AFAICT, you are currently arguing specifically over whether pgsql-php should 
be included along with the other lists in Peters proposal. If what you're

from -ports, -cygwin, and -interfaces back onto -general is a problem, please 
restate your argument in that wider scope.
