I also managed a team of about 30 developers, many of them as imature as some of the PEAR elitists that we find here.

If you want to be respected by the people hanging around here, you shouldn't play the cynic (your messages sometimes seem to be as if you would like to be cynic, but in fact you aren't).

Bjorn, you still don't understand me. You may not agree with my points of view, but one thing you may be certain, I care for PHP and I try my best so it can gain the best acceptance possible because ultimately that will benefit everybody that uses and supports PHP. I am not being cynic. I am just telling you the way I think the things are because I am not hypocrit. Therefore I also s*ck for nobody. If something is wrong and needs to be changed, I will say that exactly the way things are and justify them consistently. Trying to use soft words will get you nowhere because people will not understand the importance of things you are talking about. You may get mad at me but if you stop holding that bias against me and listen for a while, you will understand that what I am looking up for the greatest acceptance that PHP can get as you do. You may not agree or even complain that I put things in a way that is not as correct as you think I should. Still that does not eliminate the fact that the current PEAR rules that were defined by a small elite of self-elected individuals, keep out many developers. Therefore those individuals are elitists. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
