Indeed, I am an infant in the ways of php-general. :)

Again, pass. Heh...

While this is true, my mom told me I was cool. Just thought I'd throw
that out there.

Absolutely. In fact, I think I'm fairly far-off right now. :) Either
way, I was just trying to shy away from
politically-and-theologically-charged conversations, I suppose. Nothing
wrong with a little banter to lighten the mood. As you said, this is not
a firm. It's a collection of people with their own individual ideas,
senses of humor, etc... and I celebrate that. I just hate seeing people
argue over stuff that, realistically, is nearly possible to sway one way
or another given someone's pre-conceived ideas.
I digress.
