Not necessarily on their own box, not necessarily on Apache and not
necessarily on Linux.
In fact, I would bet the vast majority of the group is NOT developing on
Linux, for instance.
But even if that is the case - if they are professionals, they will NOT
have their PHP errors mixed in with the web server error log.
But a real professional would understand that. A troll would not.
