RE: [PHP-DB] Robust OO Shopping Cart 4 sale - oh please ....

the wonderful thing about open source is that generally you are speaking to people that are FAR more qualified and FAR cleverer. you remind me a lot of someone (and i can name a lot of developers) who has something and is convinced that they are immediately superior because of this 'something' that they have. don't apologise. as i will not (as requested in your ealier mail). open source needs to be kept free of people like yourself. otherwise nothing will ever change.
