NYCPHP Meetup

[Daniel Kushner]

Phil,

Please take your personal thoughts off this list. We have over 1,300
subscribers, and we shouldn't be filling in their mailboxes with off topic
emails.

And now back to PHP :) Could you recheck your version. Dan mentioned that
the one you are using shouldn't exist!

Thanks,
Daniel
