Jerry Stuckle:

[re W3Schools' PHP tutorial]

> Another poster disparaged this course without even looking at it,

Talking about me? Either (a) you've spectacularly misconstrued my
remarks, in which case I can only point out that what I was talking
about was not specifically their PHP tutorial - I haven't even read it,
ferchrissakes! - but W3Schools in general; or (b) you've made egregious
logical leaps and bounds, without so much as the shame to cover them
up, to arrive at the conclusion that I "disparaged" their PHP tutorial.

Put words in my mouth if you like, Jerry, but the thread is there for
all to read. Where I said that I wouldn't recommend W3Schools, I also
qualified my statement with 'especially if their HTML tutorial is
anything to go by'. In other words, if the quality of their HTML
tutorial is representative of their other tutorials - and this
condition I made explicit - there are probably more technically
accurate and less misleading Websites to recommend. Besides, to drag
this thread kicking and screaming on-topic, I _encouraged_ discussion
of their PHP tutorial.

> based on what he's heard about their HTML course.

Me again? More what I've read than what I've heard. Their HTML
tutorial is shamateurish.
