This is a very well known talking point that can easily elicit a lengthy off-topic discussion, and I don't think anybody is really interested in that. Again, this is just my opinion, but while it's okay to talk about things other than PHP on occasion, I don't really see what use this has other than provoking a response from someone. Please be considerate is all I'm asking. Michiel
