I'm old.

In PHP 3.0, it would mess you up.

Particularly fun was the EMACS setting that automagically added a
newline for any text file you edited that didn't have one at the
end...

*THAT* sure caused a lot of "fun" on this list back in the day. :-)

Old habits die hard.

Plus, somewhere, I probably have a PHP 3.0 install still running on
some old box... Not tied directly to the 'net nor in production, but
still... :-)
