It is annoying as all hell, but last I checked PHP doesn't revolve around publishers and their authors... I'm +1 for the change, if that means anything :) John On Tue, 2004-03-23 at 09:00, George Schlossnagle wrote: > On Mar 23, 2004, at 6:52 AM, Edin Kadribasic wrote: > > > On Tuesday 23 March 2004 11:58, Georg Richter wrote: > >>> I agree with Marcus (and I think Andi) here.
