Sheesh Stut, I thought the "- and a happy April fool's to all ;-)" would be enough. Of course I'm joking, why would I be on this list if I didn't like open source and PHP in general? Besides, I made fun of Chris and Rasmus specifically because I know they're on this list. They both know they _rule_so_hard_!

Blimey, I think everyone needs to get their sarcasm detectors checked. Thank $DEITY it's now known as yesterday!! -Stut

Leave poor Zouari alone! I for one think that Microsoft buying Zend would be the best thing to happen to PHP, EVAR! This Rasmus guy didn't even mean for PHP to be what it is, he just wanted something simple and now look at it. It's WAY to complex for an unorganized bunch of hobbyists to maintain. I'm personally looking forward to the way they'll clean things up. Who knows, maybe once they've got PHP under control we won't need these security 'experts' like Chris Shifflett any more because would be hackers won't be able to see the source code, which of course means they won't be able to find vulnerabilities. You

    guys just

need to give up on this open source hippie dream and let Microsoft change things for the better - who cares if Stephen King thinks they are working in conjunction with the Crimson King and that they might build robots that will someday take over the world and more or less 'suck the s-m-r-t' out of 50% of the worlds twins? He looks creepy anyway. - and a happy April fool's to all ;-)

Here's assuming that was a joke so I won't get into the factual errors. I wonder how Zend and the other core developers will feel about being referred to as "an unorganized bunch of hobbyists". -Stut

    Well, I'm not sure about your LOCALE and cultural referents,
    but from where I'm sitting I could freakin' *see* the <sarcasm>
    tags on that one ... or maybe it's just my MUA.  ;-)

    As an aside, to prevent further potential misunderstanding,
    there's one on my ASCII art as well.... :-D
