>I thought it was a valid viewpoint, though incomplete. It is virtually impossible to pay attention to any alleged validity of what someone is saying when they have peppered their missive with gratuitous and wholly ad-hominem landmines such as: I really hate it when you sit back in your chair and tell people that a feature shouldn't be added to perl because "that would be hard to teach my students." Stupid arguments like that, and now the recent "it's easier to type and say." Pure bullshit. And then, just to add the final icing of insensate disrespect, he appends a quindecimally lined signature. Bah. --tom
