You got different kinds of people here, like me, just doing this for a hobby, I can take some new age weird nerdy talk of nonecense. However, there are those who do this for a living (not just php, but web design or lamp og wamp (how is that for a acronyme =D?)), they don't take lightly on having a serious discussion with someone who just f* around telling halftruths. > > It is OK do discuss a subject, to get overheated by passion, ignorance, > irritation, misunderstanding or a mix of all of them.
