I just knew you were going to use me as an example (even though I don't see how it has anything to do with documentation): Should I just print my own HTTP headers?

There are 30+ replies to my thread, including 4 from you. There are around 5 that attempt to answer the original question, with the rest just pointing out that it's a stupid question or using bizarre hypothetical situations to demonstrate its uselessness.

This thread now has more relevant discussion to my question than that one though, so I guess I should be thanking you. I just wonder why you decided not to mention headers at all in that thread and instead went on a tangent about benchmarking.
