It is impolite to full-quote a posting, particularly to quote the signature
of a posting without referring to it. Learn to quote.

This is not a mailing list, it is a Usenet newsgroup. But it makes no
significant difference in that regard:

You have posted *twice* now something that fails to address the problem at
hand. You have been notified of that twice now. You have posted a
correction that is suboptimal, and you have been notified of that. And you
of all people dare to patronize others? Go away.

I have more than 14 years of professional experience in software development
with PHP now.
