I was sincere. I meant "modern" to mean more recent. Though, I do agree 
with the correlation between your interpretation and response. I 
apologize.

I'd really like to be the last poster in this thread, simply because 
it's gone into flame world, filling my mailbox when not invited. This'll 
never change, at least in PHP proper, so please, don't fight about it...
