Nettie and I will have Inigo in our prayers for a successful outcome of the 
surgery. You are indeed an esteemed and respected friend, even though some of 
the list participants don't show it in their behavior.

Bruno and 1T3XT are very consistent in their behaviors, when their responses 
are triggered by certain undesirable acts on the part of some participants on 
the discussion list. IMO, before posting, participants should lurk a while, so 
they can learn the triggers they should avoid.

Operating in "Blurt mode", asking questions that have already been answered 
many times before, and asking questions the answers of which can easily be 
found by seaching the book, tutorials, examples, documentation, and list 
archives, are easily-discernable triggers.

A Google search for "posting guidelines comp.lang.perl.misc" will show a new 
participant a sample of guidelines that should be followed -- substitute 
"iText" for "Perl".

Best regards,
Bill Segraves

P.S. Congratulations, Bruno, on the outstanding 1st-year success of _iText in 
Action_. It would be the number one reference on my technical bookshelf, except 
it stays instead on the top of a stack of reference books, close at hand, next 
to my computer. I wonder how many people are ready for a 2nd copy, e.g., one to 
replace the one that's nearly worn out. :-)
