Hi Brian,

Hope my last email was received more as playful than annoying.  I 
figured you had done what I've done too many times in the past and just 
sent a message before it was ready to go out.  Happens to all of us.

You're getting good advice from others already on the OOP questions. 
It's time to move on from PHP4, and rebuilding a site sounds like the 
perfect opportunity.  A personal site can also be a great chance to 
experiment with new concepts.
