Re: Perl

["Bradley D. Thornton" <gmane@NorthTech.US>]

Well it seems that our friend (NOT), scott.smallsreed@charter.net is a
certifiable bonehead. I just received a response from him with some pretty
colorful language - dayglow, I would say ;)

Scott, I'm not going to dignify your filthy comments by responding to that
email, but your original post, which was is only five days old, certainly
doesn't show the level of your animosity that you shared with me privately.

If that O'Reilly book is too much for you then perhaps this isn't the thing
for you after all. It's an RTFM world out there, and you'll only last one or
two days on the job anyway if you can't swim in that pond.

Since you feel such anger against everyone on these lists, then perhaps it
is best if you just stick to your job as a plumber ;)

One more thing - if you didn't care, then why did you send such a long
private flame? ;)

TTFN.
