Well don't let that get you down.
He's not the only jerk using php.
Heck, I use it every day. :>

People looking for PHP are looking for a scripting/programming language,
or at the very least looking for webdev tools, so they most likely
have some degree of geek factor happening. That being the case, most
people who stumble onto motherboards.com looking for php know exactly
what this peon is up to, and actually frown on this sort of crap.
Its probably doing him more harm than good.
Hits don't always translate into sales. And anyone looking
for php will find it, motherboards.com be damned.
