I am the one who watches the lists, if you haven't noticed or read the FAQs. Admins cross-posting isn't unheard of when it comes to administriva situations. > Never ever do this if that's not CGI related > to CGI, and not to Perl to either any of them. > If you don't understand, please read the FAQ.

If it is CGI related, it doesn't belong on the beginners list. This isn't rocket science. Many people subscribe to both list. But, as with any list(s), it is appropriate to post to the best suited one for the topic of your question. Some people have even emailed me privately asking if it is OK to say 'thanks' on a list (which it is, of course). Why is it some people are so polite, and others are so argumentative? > I believe that I behaves good on almost postes, to > the right list. I seldom cross posting unless I have > the reason to. There is no reason to, unless you are an admin for the lists. This has been discussed before, if you searched the archives you would likely find me saying "don't cross-post" multiple times. You would also find list members asking people not to cross-post. These are sister lists, not independent groups. If the FAQ and the members of the lists hasn't made that apparant, me stating it should. > Also, if you are not giving ans. to my question, but > a warning, pls go on by private, if you are not trying > to telling the world that you are a police. I am the police of the lists. Again, (re)read the FAQs. Sorry I used your email as the one to respond to, but as someone active on the lists, you should know better. I do send PLENTY of emails in private, believe me. I also get emails in private asking me to make sure people do not cross-post. In fact, I do believe I have sent you private emails before about cross-posting. > I still submit to beginners list, as I have the impression > that this list is more leadership.

When you go to someones house, and they ask you to remove your shoes.. do you give them back-talk and wait for other guests to make the request to you? Please respect the people who run the lists, follow the rules of the lists, and thank them every day for the fact they provide you with an outlet to ask your questions. If you feel the need to argue with them, pick up your toys and go.
