I was kidding, but since you took it seriously, just by going to http://bugs.php.net/search.php I can see that there 920 outstand bug reports to be addressed. How come anybody can think that "repressing Manuel" is a better way to spend time than fixing all those bugs? I looks like Derick wants to show off and exhibit his official @php.net badge and act like a PHP mailing lists "watchdog". Never mind, lets let him figure that he'd better have a life of his own instead of bothering to step on others' feet. > > > Also, user level questions should stay on the general or db list. > > > > Yes, sorry, my mistake, I didn't quite notice the list this was going > > to, I just followed-up the original post. > > :) No worries - I have done the same many times. > > * As have *many* people on this list - even you. :) It was not intended, but now you have to face the justice or Mr. Net cop Derick. Just to relax, you know that 4 years ago I wrote a book named something that would be translated as "Being on the Internet". I have one chapter that talks about typical behaviours that the Internet make outstand in users. One of the described behaviours is what I called the "Net Cop". It is that guy that thinks of himself of a big shot that knows all and is going to fix the world by repressing others. Derick just reminded me of a Net Cop. Anyway, I tend to understand people like him, because as I explained in the book, usually people just repress others because they are or at least were repressed by others in the past. Despite they hated it, they just do the same and repress others with shouting at them with public messages to try to humilliate them, just like Derick tried. Never mind, nothing that some good analysis sessions would not solve! :-) Anyway, talking about books, and to not completely waste this thread I have just skimmed your book, PHP Functions Essential Reference. I must congratulate you and your co-authors for the book. It is a very good approach to make turn a reference manual into a much more useful PHP programming hand book. I am sorry I could not yet find time to publish a review in the PHP Classes site because I have been very busy with things that gave me a lot of work like completely removing the uses of strtok function from the site code because PHP developers broke it after version 4.0.6 and I could not avoid the upgrade to use the APC cache to speedup the site service. I probably only have time to review your book in February because I am still very busy with a new release of Metabase to be out on its second anniversary since its first public release that will happen on the 18th. There are a few inovating features that I want release but I have to work a lot to make it happen in time. Then I need to get back to MetaL developement that will also have its first public release soon, hopefully some time next month. But don't worry I will make a nice review of your book anytime until then.
