I did not reply to your original post because I do not think this list is a place for preaching and lecturing people on how and what to post. Talking about breach of rules is one thing, this kind of sermonising is another.


Well, there's not much I can do if you consider it preaching - I have clearly told you why I thought that sort of replying is unhelpful. If you think it is indeed informative, you are obviously free to continue doing so.

btw, there *is* a world beyond php ...


I agree. I could have suggested a few variants of my own. But I didn't have enough information to suggest him something else that would help him. He didn't express any need for 'alternative' solutions either. If the common solution is going to be enough for him, why make him go through the trouble of special cases?

If indeed I thought that I have something to contribute that is unkown or normally ignored, I would at least give him clear reasons why it is better than the most common alternative. All I'm saying is you have to make a case as to why you think your solution is better, since you're suggesting something different than others.
