Mike, It's nice that you want to contribute to PHP. But trying to brainstorm ideas over email is not productive.

Hi Dan, I appreciate that you, too, want to make PHP better, as a language and as a project; but just about everything in this e-mail is wrong. Firstly, you've managed to reply to the wrong thread. Secondly, you've once again taken it on yourself to proclaim when people should and shouldn't use this e-mail list, without actually asking anyone else's opinion. Thirdly, Mike is not the only one "brainstorming" this particular idea, as your comments about "spending your time better elsewhere" imply. Ben Ramsey, Larry Garfield, and Dik Takken have all expressed support for the general idea, and it has come up in other discussions as a potential benefit of preloading and JIT. I certainly don't agree with all Mike's ideas, nor do I always feel the mailing list is as productive as it could be, but I think this message was just way off base.
