Perhaps you are a fan of the guy, perhaps not - I don't know you. What I do know is that for the past several years, I have seen what should have been basic and common sense discussions degenerate into personality wars because of Shlomi Fish. So sue me if I have the balls to call him out on it. Note that I was not the first, I simply elaborated on someone else's comment. Frankly, I am tired of so many on this list acting like children. Me, me, me instead of perl, perl, perl. People getting blacklisted because they dare to speak their minds. Others, with totally valid and valuable contributions being totally ignored because their ideas are not popular. I *thought* that we had gone beyond this petty stuff. Clearly I was was wrong. > > > > Eirik
