    What a waste of effort, energy and time for all people considered. This is exactly why people are downvoting all your responses. Even the few mildly interesting ones.

    You apparently can't just leave a subthread alone, you feel you must get the last word. Wake up: you don't have to reply to "/yawn." You don't have to reply to every node on Perlmonks. With all your replies, this thread is TWICE AS LONG as it could be, even if the original premise were valid and valuable.

    A downvote is equivalent to someone yawning. A comedian doesn't stop the whole show to beg the audience for justification for each failed joke. If there's no applause, and more than a couple coughs from the peanut gallery, then try something else. It's not a complicated concept to figure out.
