I don't know either way, but neither do you. That's the point. You
should not make assumptions that could just as easily be wrong (even if
it appears it "must" be a particular way) and pretend the alternatives
don't exist; just because _you_ deem such alternatives as unlikely
doesn't mean ultimately that they are.

Are you going to help, or are you going to continue feeding a troll? ;-)
Seriously--since ''Gordon'' isn't posting *wrong* Perl, there's no
reason to continue to reply to him. Perhaps if we all ignore him he'll
either stop posting his ridiculous rants, or he'll post actual help.

Translation: one cannot have an opinion or make a point that conflicts
with your own, lest the world cometh tumbling down to the ground. For
shame.

"I don't know either way, but neither do you. That's the point."
-from my other reply.
It's a point that you and Uri do not like, but last I checked, a
disagreement doesn't

I am a helping on several lists. If I could help in every single list I
have interest in, I would have to spend every waking moment going form
list to list, which isn't very realistic. Perhaps I'll spend more time
here when I tire of one of the ones I do offer help in. Either way, it's
not, and never has been, a requirement for posting comments in a group,
list, forum, or other.

I wouldn't translate Keith's statement that way. Rather, I'd say that
he is implying that you're being needlessly argumentative, and that
your line of discussion is not productive.

Well, it might not be the most productive, but it no less than Uri and
others making such assumptions that could easily be wrong. Frankly,
since when can one not comment on what someone else wrote? As I recall,
that by posting in a public forum, you are inviting comments, and that's
all I'm doing, yet some people choose to get on the defensive and sling
mud, rather than engage in a civil discussion.
