' baz' or whatever. I would do this, even if the "performance gain per man-hour spent" is low. The reasons are: * micro performance gain ( german quote: "Klein Vieh macht auch Mist" --> out of www.dict.cc it's in english "A penny saved is a penny earned." * code looks better (which is for me the design part not the front end ;-) ) * new developer can start faster, because they understand the code faster (IMO) * when someone new (like me) do something like that, they gain a lot of knowledge about the software itself in a short period of time -> because u see much parts of the code, so u know what is the current state if($interest==true) mail('keckeismar...@hotmail.com', '...', '...'); else echo 'I which u good luck for the future.'; -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
