Claim what you will, you've demonstrated otherwise in your messages here.

Uh ... no.

code.

That, in a nutshell, is your problem. You value "cool" over knowledge.

You have a problem with that guys code? If so, it's above my head.
You've revealed yourself as a weirdo. I don't doupt your command of
perl, I do doupt your social skills.

What is NRN?

Excuse me, what is this quote about? There is no reference to previous
messages. From where did you quote that? Is there a previous thread your
were responding to?

Uh ... no.

code.

What??? There are no "parent responses". This is a new thread with a new
"Subject". What are you talking about?

If you've followed threads here for any significant length of time, it
will become evident that "Perl skills" and "Social skills" are
mutually-exclusive. My theory is that a human can posess a fixed amount
of "programming + social" skills, and as one increases, the other
dimishes.

Case-in-point, read any replies in this newsgroup to this theory, and
you'll get the idea.

ANOTHER case-in-point, watch a cheesy yet accurate portrayal of
programmers' personality in the movie "War Games". As I read replies
here, I often have the developer portrayals from that movie in mind, so
I try to read between the barbs to get to the good stuff.

Not that there is anything WRONG with lacking social skills- heck it's
a virtual prerequisite to being The President of the USA!

This is off topic but read Fortinate Son. Current prez has very good
social skills - he's also IMHO evil and incompetent but he'd be fun to
have a beer with.
