RE: [PHP] To The Hacker: CodeBoy

rswfire, This thread does not pertain to the php-general list anymore, nor was your origional post. I personally emailed you OFF list and your reply was ON list which didn't have any business with this anymore. This situation is between you and me and i am happy to discuss anything which you would like. But posting to the list and calling me a "hacker" is in appropriate. As well as some of the allegations that "You did this day after day for almost five days, sir." that is incorrect, i logged in that one friday night.
