Bill, I'm sorry about that, I promise to keep it in mind in the future. I actually try to follow all requests on how to post messages here. I think that's the least any person here can do in exchange for the great support and help people provide in this list. I didn't mean to ignore any of that, i just didn't think about it and I apologize. > The *endless* kvetching about posting styles, demands for "proper > examples" and > assorted other crabbiness have just pegged my BS-ometer to "full". > I've been programming in perl for the better part of a decade.

Geoff, I've been on this list for at least six years, and I've seen a lot more solutions than complains. Actually, I think I haven't seen a more agressive message than this of yours. I didn't see any complain in Bill's answer. He nicely asked me to change the way I used to respond, with a good basis of common sense implied on such petition. The name you give to the people in this group is completely unasked-for and absolutely right for your own attitude.
