This posting alternately rocks and sucks.
It rocks because it's reassuring to see people being human and
having bad tempers.
Often I think I am the only angry person: everyone else is on valium.
However IME getting angry where money is concerned isn't a good plan.
It sucks because this is a place of meditation. Why unsettle the
still waters?

It rocks because these postings show a comedic back-biting and
squabbling
In ways not too disimillar to the 3 Stooges or the Nazi Party of WW2.
It sucks because the comedic back-biting amongst leading lights is
not going to do wonders for Perl's image.
It rocks as an example of how wrong the cult of personality is.
Is it optimism or egotism that makes a member of the Perl community
think they can mount an effective boycott on any Camel Book?
It sucks because it shows that the cult of personality is alive
and well and being milked.
If this was a rant by Joe Bloggs, who earns 14K whilst his junior
earns 19k, it would be voted off. Why hasn't this happened here?
It rocks because it should give rise to a new node.
Here Perl Luminaries can post their (hate|e)-mail about
one another in tabloid style mud-slinging match.
It sucks that money was mentioned,
Do you need the money?
it's almost insulting.
