WordPress developers apparently like to substantially change the way things look in all the core files (thus breaking patches made from earlier versions) without substantively changing the way things work or the readability of the code. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --huq684BweRXVnRxX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1xD6MACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXzzgCg22cQMhA0SEZ/e4zMSOA3oBBR ODMAniJodXC7vR6QoSBk7EOQpb3aMrg9 =Wd3e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --huq684BweRXVnRxX--
