Hey,

I didn't mean to offend. And I've also been guilty of releasing non-production-ready code.

And if you'd just included that kind of disclaimer clearly up front I don't think I'd have felt so compelled to comment on this.

As far as the point of the submission. Yes, I found it interesting to learn about Google's referers, but I think I'd rather have just read about that, rather than seeing the code too. It was unclear whether the article was "Hey lets deconstruct google referers" or "Hey lets play with some PHP". The former is interesting, the latter not.

Thanks for the reply.
