Hi Dan,

I appreciate that you, too, want to make PHP better, as a language and 
as a project; but just about everything in this e-mail is wrong.

Firstly, you've managed to reply to the wrong thread.

Secondly, you've once again taken it on yourself to proclaim when people 
should and shouldn't use this e-mail list, without actually asking 
anyone else's opinion.

Thirdly, Mike is not the only one "brainstorming" this particular idea, 
as your comments about "spending your time better elsewhere" imply. Ben 
Ramsey, Larry Garfield, and Dik Takken have all expressed support for 
the general idea, and it has come up in other discussions as a potential 
benefit of preloading and JIT.

I certainly don't agree with all Mike's ideas, nor do I always feel the 
mailing list is as productive as it could be, but I think this message 
was just way off base.

Regards,
