I said *many* ways :-) - heck if there were only 2 ways to rip someone
a proverbial new one things would get boring around here :-P

that's a challenge ... not that I needed it, I have to admit to indulging
in more than my fair share of boundary pushing in terms of exceptable
list behaviour ...

I guess if I start baiting all 3 of you (Roman, tedd, tg) that would
not be constructive? no probably not :-)

from my stance, I don't give 2 hoots about Roman's sig, Roman's reply style
sometimes leaves a little to be desired [hey where would we be without desire ;-)]
but he has offered good technical stuff, I very much sympathise with anyone
who has had the misfortune to experience the horrors of war and I think it is something
that does deserve maybe a tad more compassion than an off-topic post
(a species we might consider that compassion is one step into a future with
less/no war - might be worth the effort?), I feel that TG's comments had merit
also, nothing wrong with trying to encourage 'decent' list behaviour (however
difficult it might be to come to a consensus given the wide range of cultures
present), lastly you should realise that these are just my opinions as of
the time of writing and I reserve the right to contradict myself at anytime in
future as and when I see fit - woman's perogative!

crap - I'm not a woman :-/

in the spirit of christmas (and because this is the php generals list - i.e. a bunch
of pragmatic village idiot hackers) let all shake hands, laugh it off and move on
to the next off-topic thread :-)

Merry Christmas Everyone! and I mean everyone (even Eight-of-Nine ;-)
