Personally (and we're now nit-picking natural [human] language), the fact that
these words are coming from my fingers implies it's an opinion. "I think..." is
always implied unless each time I typed a word, I asked a committee for
consensus. :-)

Ian, your point is a good one and (honestly), it is why I brought it up in the
first place. I'm on (i.e., "lurking" :-) ) several lists and, for some reason,
I see newbies picked on for etiquette here more than anywhere else. A
"beginner" in Perl doesn't mean every new person just found out about the
Internet yesterday... Anyway, this wasn't the first time; happens once every
few months... *sigh*
