The difference is that I lose nothing if I put Uno in my killfile, but I
like to read your and Uri's postings - when they are about Perl. But all
too frequently your postings are not about Perl, but about the personal
shortcomings of some other poster. I urge you as respected regulars of
this group to set a good example and keep the last two points of the
Posting Guidelines (regularly posted by a certain Mr. McClellan - you
may know him) in mind:
| Count to ten before composing a followup when you are upset
| This is recommended in all Usenet newsgroups. Here in clpmisc, most
| flaming sub-threads are not about any feature of Perl at all! They
| are most often for what was seen as a breach of netiquette. If you
| have lurked for a bit, then you will know what is expected and won't
| make such posts in the first place.
|
| But if you get upset, wait a while before writing your followup. I
| recommend waiting at least 30 minutes.
|
| Count to ten after composing and before posting when you are upset
| After you have written your followup, wait *another* 30 minutes
| before committing yourself by posting it. You cannot take it back
| once it has been said.
