Yes, you are right, my troll sensitivity meter was set too high and my
reaction was too strong.

Heh.

PHP is pretty clear, yes, but it doesn't beat static for performance.

I apologize if my focusing on that came across as as insulting- I
really did not mean it that way.  I use PHP when the page needs to be
dynamic.

I do like the Parrot work- they seem to be fixing the stuff about Java
that's so annoying.
