The fact is that Daniel does a wonderful job giving out plenty of advice to php/curl help seekers not just on its website (I'd go as far as saying that the php man pages are better for that), but especially on the curl-and-php mailing list.
That's where a lot of the n00bs end up asking questions.
Sometimes Daniel does not have the definitive answer, as the question really depends on the php 'wrapper', and people get pissed off.
The easy solution: move the mailing list over to php.net, and/or subscribe to it all of the committers to /ext/curl (and yes, I have been subscribed to the mailing list, but had overall more questions than answers...)

Nope... Daniel agreed to keep his ML going. That's not a concern, it can be 
linked from the manual or from the support page. The problem is with 
googling for documentation - at present what you get from that is PHP/CURL, 
which is neither fish nor fowl.
