I also agree that lazy posters should maybe be handled a bit less harshly lest we become the qmail list ;p
I want to clarify, by "lazy" I don't mean uninformed. If someone doesn't now how to post to a list or where to look for documentation or what perl is let alone how to use it, thats fine, we should at least kindly point out a few tips to help get better results if not begin assisting them.
In the case being discussed the code posted after it was recommended to post some example code didn't even compile, which was more than being lazy, it was causing even more work which is really frustrating...
*That* (posting the "Here is my code that outputs this" that doesn't even come close to compiling let alone having output and not due to simple "missed the last colon" pasting mistakes) is not being innocently uninformed (IE a beginner that the list is for) that is straight out lying and attempting to take advantage by having someone else wipe your tookas for you and that is the sort of thing that isn't cool...
Ok, [end rant] ;p
