I think he owes you an apology, regardless of whether he was right or wrong, regardless of whether you were right or wrong. Not everyone who reads this mailing list posts to it. What impression would his comments leave on them? How can we encourage people to use Perl if they think they will receive harsh criticism? The fact that the criticism was to a response and not an original post is unimportant; the fact that is was done is. That's why I think he owes you an apology and a public one. After all, we don't want people frighten into learning that other language that starts with P ;) -- __END__ Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, --- Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
