If we're truly not going to answer coding questions here, then can we PLEASE get a separate mailing list for module developers?
The Support list is ABSOLUTELY NOT for these kinds of questions. That list says explicitly that it is for people who have trouble installing and configuring Drupal. To quote its mailman page:
"If you need help getting Drupal up and running this is the list for you."
Most of the community on that list wouldn't be able to answer general PHP questions, much less answer questions about the inner workings of the API, Drush, or Simpletest. We'd be better off posting questions to the "Themes" list.
If this list truly is for core development only, then I will unsubscribe. But there's no way I'm going to join a mailing list just so my inbox can fill up with thousands of questions per day about setting up an FTP client or whatever.
Until us module coders get our own mailing list, I'd advise you to avoid sending coding questions to the Support list, and send them to the "Module Development and Code Questions" section of the forums:http://drupal.org/forum/4
Thanks.
