At one point there was a disproportionate number of clueless newbies who did not have the slightest idea how to behave on the Net that had an @aol.com address. The reason was simple. Not that all AOLers were stupid, but that they were all connected to the Net at the same time. Before that users were entering the Net gradually (as they were starting on their universities) with lots of different addresses, now there was a huge and easily distinguishable group of newbies at once. So at that time if you happened to have an @AOL.com address you were considered dumb. What I'm trying to say is ... maybe what we see is a result of a rapid growth of Perl usage in Mid and Far east ;-) Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
