That kind of attitude is completely lame. How is he going to account for the
cost of learning PHP?

The e-mail doesn't make sense, what does "...some other strengths in our
department for those clients who don't want us to host their application or
don't have cf on their server..." have to do with "...corporate IT
department..."?
