Why do you feel the need to get personal?

Well, I guess we've veered into the humorous portion of the day, because it's hard to understand how my post could be construed as personal when you're posting as an Anonymous Monk. :)

... but there seems to be some huge assumption that all of perlmonks.org readership comes from people that spend vast amounts of time on this site.

Not really, we just assume that if you are commenting on something that you have something useful to say .. and that presumes that you understand the technical background. The original post had links to other nodes with relevant information, which you should have read if you were going to respond and not waste everyone's time.

If the mentality on this site is that I need to have read all articles prior to this one to understand what the article is talking about (and thus, be a perlmonks.org expert, as I'm sure you are), and the other readers of this site are as hostile as you are, then it's time for me to move on.

Yes, surprisingly, we do expect posters to make intelligent, informed comments. It keeps the noise level down. And if you have misinterpreted my polite remonstrations and reasoning as hostility, your skin is way too thin.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
