Offensive or otherwise, the list is not the place to flame about it, or we could abandon it and just use comp.lang.perl.misc. This list was created primarily to provide a place where people would not be subjected to netiquette or other flames. No one is forced to read the posts here, much less respond to them. Anyone who wants to flame someone for offending them will find plenty of targets on clpm :-) http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/05/29/tides.html http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners http://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html The discussion about whether this policy would render the list useless was had when it started: http://use.perl.org/articles/01/06/01/048204.shtml -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
