My first first explanation was not a translation of my second post.

My first post gave you a different (all be it correct) reason not to
use short tags whilst, since you were still arguing the point, I gave
you another reason, straight from the php.ini file comments.

And yes...You SHOULD never use short tags (just because you can, for
backwards compatability reasons does not mean you should. IT IS BAD
PRACTICE)

And yes...You SHOULD go around telling everyone else not to use them
also.

P.S - I apologise for being rude, however there is no excuse for being
stubborn about your coding practices. When you are proven wrong,
swallow your pride and change your ways - otherwise you'll be a shite
coder forever.

Regards,

Paul
