[PHP-DEV] Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #7766 Updated: not OO until automatic class destructor is added From: Shelby Moore (shelby <email protected>)
Date: 11/12/00

Then why did you add classes? Are you luring commercial corporations like
ours only to treat us like shit when we make a valid request. If I release
your response out onto the net, I think many businesses will think twice
about your attitude. As I said below, we are contemplating becoming a Zend
purchaser and $cash supporter of PHP, but I think your attitude sucks. Who
are you?

You can see my signature below.

I hope you reconsider your position. The lack of a destructor is going to
cause major distortions with the use of classes down the line. Certainly
you want to make the best possible product and certainly sales of Zend will
hinge on more complex projects, and certainly people with $ will want OO
which is why you added classes in the first place.

Thanks,
Shelby
