Jaime, I think he speaks from himself and also as he is part of the
SuperBB team. I explained to the three SuperBB developers the situation
regarding PHP4. And unfortunatelly we can't go for PHP3.

Yes, I saw that, and also think that the Harry unfriendly post was for a

you pardon Jaime for this unfriendly post.
