My tone is adapted to the level of your propositions and has nothing to do with professional activities (nobody pays me to waste my time in this discussion or anything else here). Your ideas apply to children schools or other similar places, but does not have their place here. What is unacceptable is that you (as in many) are bitching me about 1 or 2 unlucky commits and 2 scripts broken due to register globals turned to off as you broke pearweb for weeks during the last 6 month (last time being 2 weeks ago for 5 days). Once again, this discussion is plain stupid. It does not solve the main problem and only create more animosity between us. Forget the school analogy, I'm sure such ideas will not even work with children... (you know, if you do not do that, no dessert/TV and you go to bed at 8, painfull). --Pierre
