And as usenet is part of internet, see my 'common sense' statement.

'hierarchical', and people are encouraged to play nice. No rules does not
mean no self-censorship, and it doesn't mean nothing can be criticized. If
you can post code, which you can and may, I'm free to give my thoughts on
them. I might be a bit short and to the point, without much regard for
peoples feelings for their precious code, but none of my posts here are
aimed directly at a person, they're all about the code. Especially in a
topic opened by a starting PHP-user, good coding practices are something I
consider important. Future colleagues will be very happy with it.

I criticized your code, perfectly suitable in a PHP newsgroup. Don't post
code if you're not prepared for citicism. I did _not_ challenge your right
to post the code, I challenged to code itself, see the difference? If you
don't agree, tell me why, on a coding level, your way should be preferred.
I'm still open to a real conversation about that, I don't dictate
anything, but I would appreciate it if a difference in opinion over code
could be discussed without it getting personal.

Then again, I have no illusions about this thread being about PHP anymore,
