Were I you, I'd simply take the evidence as available: - At least four people thought your comment was phrased unkindly - At least one person thought your comment was phrased fine and, given that evidence, personally I'd file it under "well, evidently my phrasing wasn't as clear as it could have been, and being more careful in future is likely a good idea to ensure my intentions aren't misread". I've been filing things under that category for a lot of years now, and I've found that the effort I've made to phrase things more clearly has more than paid off in terms of reduced misunderstandings. Either way, I doubt we'll gain much more value out of this thread, so while you're welcome to have the last word if it makes you happy, I'll be leaving it there. -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our CPAN commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
