Re: PEAR DB 1.6.0 has been released
Posted in 2004
Not a technical thread: it's a flame war over an off-topic announcement of the PEAR DB 1.6.0 release (a PHP database abstraction layer) posted to the Informix group. Daniel Morgan objected to it as spam and poor netiquette; another poster defended PEAR as free open source and useful news, and the exchange degenerated into insults and obscenity. No technical problem is described and no resolution is recorded — nothing here about using PEAR DB with Informix.

All SPAM is bad spam. I don't care if you are giving it away for free. I don't care if you personally show up, install it, configure it train on it, and then give me a check for $50: It is still spam. The lack of netiquette is inexcusable and the posting invites others that are selling products and services to think such postings are tolerated: They will not be. -- Daniel Morgan http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/oad/oad_crs.asp http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/aoa/aoa_crs.asp damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace 'x' with a 'u' to reply)
Danield Morgan, You are an ignorant turd, as well as all the other cry-babies complaining. What is your point? To create more spam complaining about it? A bunch of ignorant retarded turds. PEAR is a contribution to not only YOUR DUMBASSES, but to people out there that are actually intelligent enough to use it. God what a useless lump of shit you people are.

God what a useless lump of shit you people are. I find it fascinating, in an academic sort of way, that it always turns out that those that spam are also those that first resort to the use of obscenities when someone rains on their parade. It would have been so simple to just say "Oops .. sorry" ... and repost. But no you apparently feel entitled to leave your trash where-ever you please without regard to rules, etiquette, or other people's wishes. Well you got your wish ... and I got mine. How many customers do you think your little temper tantrum got you? -- Daniel Morgan http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/oad/oad_crs.asp http://www.outreach.washington.edu/ext/certificates/aoa/aoa_crs.asp damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace 'x' with a 'u' to reply)
First of all you make the wrong assumption that I spam, secondly, implying that I put the message out about PEAR. I have nothing to do with spam or PEAR. I do however, read this group as well as others, and APPRECIATE news like what was posted about PEAR. This was something we rarely see anymore, instead it's pontificating turds like you that clog up the threads. Your comments as well as the other turds was completely inappropriate. Internet poop clogging up the thought waves. Newsgroups are about information sharing, discussions, and open, public communication. PEAR is an open source contribution, available even for dumbshits like you. Obviously you don't understand that, as well as the other cry-babies who had to chime in and post their ignorance. Even worse, you have to include links to even more of your stinky ignorance. Those that can't, teach. Heh-heh... Now go teach! ( And change your diaper you cry-baby! It's startin ta stink! ) "Daniel Morgan" <damorgan@x.washington.edu> wrote in message news:1077374028.733831@yasure... > Buck wrote: > > Danield Morgan, > > > > You are an ignorant turd, as well as all the other > > cry-babies complaining.

God what a useless lump of shit you people are. Do I detect something in your post worth ANALysing? Anyway, if a pear is being contributed to my dumb ass, presumably to replace an ignorant turd or a useless lump of shit, then I hope you will generously apply KY Jelly first. Even then, I think it may well make my eyes water. Does that make me a cry-baby? -- "C'est pas parce qu'on n'a rien ''' dire qu'il faut fermer sa gueule" - Coluche
