Actually I'm a guy, but we can't all be perfect ;)
I really didn't mean to get anyones back up too much. That last reply
was after a hard days work, so I was probably far more harsh than I
should have been. I apologise to both Nathan and Jochem, as I was far
too critical of both their opinions.

actually I didn't have an opinion of my own on this one, merely parroting
nathan ... which is quite funny because normally I'm a completely opinionate
SOB :-P
anyways it seems we're all good ... on to the next holy war ;-)

I think the PHP part of the URL was added by the mailing list. Short of
that, I think it's just some schmuck trying to boost his/her SEO
ranking.

"Shelly" has been here for over a year, on and off, and I think it
was a mistaken post, actually. Deliberately sent to the list, yes,
but mistaken that it would be acceptable. Nothing I think is worth
make too much of a big deal over.
In fact, it would be worth it to let this thread die right here.

Quit apologizing until you've done something wrong, Sheridan. ;-P

You are REALLY "drive traffic", "spam", "SEO" experts. They are beyond my
mind. The topic being here is just because the news is each national site's
cover story and every mate talked about it.
2. Not a place to "DRIVE TRAFFIC". My English is still at preliminary school
level, you see. (should be pirated rather than private) Chinese is much more
better to do this.
3. That's all. :)

I was going to say "what's wrong with that?", but then remembered that
I use them too...

Hi Richard,
Only China users will suffer the punishment. :)
50 pounds is not much, but 700 RMB is very much, actually. (The Office's
price)

I'm running some command-line scripts that are taking more and more
arguments, and I'm wondering whether anyone's used a good flags package for
PHP? Support for string/int/boolean arguments would be nice, otherwise I'll
just hack together my own.
Thanks for any advice,
Waynn
