Yes I do breath fire, but only to put fire under you lazy PHP developers!
lol
Why so hostile?
Because I have a major php application that works with mail() !
And I did have to program a work around for the idiotic stupid failures of
that function!
Why so hostile?
Because I reported that bug over a year ago and still nobody fixed it. Only
replys that say "I dunno nothing about it" or to fix it myself.
Why so hostile?
Because Mail() is a major VERY important function of the internet. E-MAIL!
Get it? Why is E-MAIL important? DUH!
Why so hostile?
Because why am I the only one who thinks this is important!?
And no I am not in my early 20's but thanks for the compliment. Actually
I'm probably older than you in body years but maybe not in mind years!

You tend to breath fire when you speak.
Look around you.
Why so hostile?
I guess you are close to your early early 20's because "wanna be lamer"
is mixed slang usage. "Wanna be" a pseudo noun preceding an adjective
"lamer", yet
the adjective is promoted to a noun in this context
and the noun is flipped to an adjective.
Most twentysomethings feel proud that they are earning more money
than they have earned in the past and pride typically prompts
advertising.
You feel motivated to point out that your compensation
is very strong while those associated with linux must be
working for little or nothing because the cumulative efforts
of many could never amount to anything of significance.
I riddle you and speculate that as you read this now,
you are guessing that I am a washed out AT&T Unix type.
Probably aged somewhere in my forties using more traditional english
framing
than the contemporary terms you have offered in your messages.
Have a great memorial day,
my flight leaves shortly.
