The first statement appears to be an attempt to rationalize your flurry 
of recent posts on
a relatively trival subject, which at the last instance seems to be 
pretty much solved.

The second is opinon at the very least and quite possibly pure tripe.  
The ports system
works fine for me, on at least 4 different machines, as  I noted in an 
email to you,
personally, early on the morning of the 10th. 

I doubt seriously that I am alone in that. 

I furthermore wonder how one can decide that a couple of issues with 
oudated
libraries constitutes a critical bug, and therefore requires that the 
port maintainer
be cc'ed for every post you make to the list for the next two days.

It was not difficult at all to find the issues with libmagic discussed 
in several threads
by utilizing Google.  WDDX accounts for a miniscule amount of PHP's 
functionality.
The changes to the way the PHP port works were made *last summer*, and 
discussed
in /usr/ports/UPDATING, which you are supposed to read when you install 
new or
update previously installed ports.

Do yourself a favor:  update your system, read UPDATING, use Google, and 
chill??  ;-)

Alex, I apologize for mentioning "the fine work you do" in a post in 
this thread.  It was
not my intention to tape "Hit Me" to your backside....
