Re^7: What 'should' a professional PERL programmer know?

[BrowserUk]

I ... almost never used it with regards to any post or person. Nor will I start.

Your choice.

But it begs the question* as to why you complain when you think I am depriving you of the opportunity to do so.

Which, BTW, is just another reason for me to downvote you.

Which is my default stance with your posts, unless the subject matter is something: a) I know nothing about; and b) the content seems plausible. And it will remain so until you post some perl code that: a) compiles (clean); b) runs; c) solves an OPs non-trivial problem. Something that, in 7 years & 3500 posts, you have yet to do, despite that you present yourself as some kind of programming guru.

Also, why, given my clear history of telling it like it is -- especially with regard to yourself -- do you continue to assume that I would suddenly shy away from doing so under my own handle?

(*Yes. I know, purist, linguists would proscribe this usage; but living in the past is their bag, not mine.)
