PHP and into php.net, but if there's no bug-free software, there's also no error-free concept, and (constructive) suggestions to amend that should be given a forum and should be discussed without bias.

Right. Too bad that some people don't value constructive criticism. In the real world people are paid to judge and criticise. Many of those are called consultants. I guess I get some hostile feedback to my criticisms because I am not charging for it. Maybe I should. :-)

Uh-huh. If you want positive feedback, I'll bet patches to fix bugs would be viewed much more as constructive criticism than are your suggestions about how PHP development should work. Anybody can say "I've got a better idea." Your comment about the real world look like flame bait. The developers havn't paid you to judge and criticize, to my knowledge. And it's hardly the case that PHP isn't being used in the real world to get real work done. -- Paul DuBois, paul@snake.net
