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.
