You are truly deluded.

Are you suggesting that it would be inappropriate for someone to ask a PHP
related MySQL question in this group?

Do you know what a LAMP server is?

Are you aware that in my post I also pointed out that the question was not
only off topic for this group but for a MySQL group as well?

This argument has nothing to do with what's on or off topic here but the
fact that you're a big whiny dork that thought he should act like the
emperor of the group by parroting information I had already included in my
post back to me as if you were an authority.

If all you can do is call people a troll when they clearly aren't being
one and are incapable of justifying your own statements then your opinion
is pretty much irrelevant.
