Hello Pierre, in some places of the world what he wrote might be ok in the way he wrote it. In some this wouldn't be acceptable at all. Contributing to PHP for a long time now and knowing Tony I a) couldn't care less and b) guess I know what he wanted to say and prefer to understand it as such.
Either way, this is a polictical & strategical move. One that has a bunch of implications for which most peolple would need to read three times at least to understand them all. marcus Friday, February 1, 2008, 11:20:33 PM, you wrote: > On Feb 1, 2008 11:10 PM, Adam Maccabee Trachtenberg > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Sat, 2 Feb 2008, Antony Dovgal wrote: >> >> > On 01.02.2008 23:26, Marcus Boerger wrote: >> > > Sorry for not writing this earlier.
