AW: AW: [cobalt-security] Unofficial PHP 4.1.2 PKG available

["Andres Petralli" <a.petralli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Francisco,

yeah, sorry for that .au thing, au stands for Australia... but actually
who cares on this list? You're right, we miss completely the point here
and should get back to what's important, and believe me, I wont ever use
a register_me feature anymore, though it is included in the official
Cobalt template. I simply dont want to put so much effort into further
justifications or why I did choose to use that feature.

Let's get back to business here!

Greets,

Andres
