I guess if I start baiting all 3 of you (Roman, tedd, tg) that would not be constructive? no probably not :-) from my stance, I don't give 2 hoots about Roman's sig, Roman's reply style sometimes leaves a little to be desired [hey where would we be without desire ;-)] but he has offered good technical stuff, I very much sympathise with anyone who has had the misfortune to experience the horrors of war and I think it is something that does deserve maybe a tad more compassion than an off-topic post (a species we might consider that compassion is one step into a future with less/no war - might be worth the effort?), I feel that TG's comments had merit also, nothing wrong with trying to encourage 'decent' list behaviour (however difficult it might be to come to a consensus given the wide range of cultures present), lastly you should realise that these are just my opinions as of the time of writing and I reserve the right to contradict myself at anytime in future as and when I see fit - woman's perogative! crap - I'm not a woman :-/ in the spirit of christmas (and because this is the php generals list - i.e. a bunch of pragmatic village idiot hackers) let all shake hands, laugh it off and move on to the next off-topic thread :-) Merry Christmas Everyone! and I mean everyone (even Eight-of-Nine ;-)
