  Well, you didn't cite the talk page, you cited the article.  I was
responding to your post, not anything else.

  Moving on to the talk page, it says, with regards to the origin of "LAMP":

"Michael Kunze coined the acronym LAMP in an article for the German
computing magazine c't in the summer of 1998. He uses it for
Linux-Apache-mSQL/MySQL-Perl/PHP software stack."

... which implies Perl and PHP have equal currency in the acronym
expansion, contradicting your original statement.  Of course, I
haven't verified the citation, so maybe it's wrong.  The rest of the
factoids don't really speak of the acronym expansion, other than the
last sentence of the seventh factoid, which is not cited.  Uncited
analysis is highly suspect, as it could just as easily be OR.

  As an aside, I'm quite proud of the fact that we're now arguing
about the methods used in the original argument.  Can anyone direct me
to room 12A?
