Uh, it sounds like you're over-reacting a bit.  They're simply stating
the facts.  PHP *is* on more servers than mod_perl.  I'd hardly call
that "going down" on mod_perl (though that brings to mind a very
disturbing image of a camel in a multi-colored feather outfit standing
on a street corner looking for a "date").  Anyhoo...

Considering the last few OSCONs and the content already up for this
year's, I have little reason to believe that mod_perl is somehow
getting the shaft.  Is there more on the site that I've missed?

Again, I think you're over-reacting with comments like "destroy the
image of..."

I realize you have a vested interest in mod_perl's success, but I
can't seem to find all the negativity in the quote that you have.
