If my recent mails hurt you, please forgive me. I very much appreciate this mail, just as I appreciate the mail from Arnaud. I think its great if we get along and I think there is even great potential to make real friends within the PEAR community. However we must realize that it would be unrealistic to expect this from all relations. Therefore I would hope that in this cases we can try to keep it professional (I think is the case for a lot of people, but I am here mainly because improving PEAR helps my company .. so the bottom interest is professional for me here). A separate issue is that we all come from different backgrounds, have different native languages, slang or general ways of dealing with other humans. So when in doubt try to interpret messages in a positive context. And when you are sure they are insulting reduce your interaction to a professional level. Again we all have a lot to learn as we build up this community for the road a head! Thx, Lukas
