The implication in your word choice came across as unfair and elitist.

> EDIT: To elaborate: I'm definitely not saying that all PHP developers are idiots. But PHP is a much easier language to learn than many others, so it gains a lot of users at the low end of the ability spectrum. There are just as many talented and security-aware Windows users as there are talented and security-aware Debian users, but there are far more untalented and security-unaware Windows users.

Okay, that's a fair statement. I thought you were calling ME an idiot :P

Not at all. Until now I didn't realize you were a PHP developer.
