Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I know he wrote the manual. I've even been to
his website and seen his credentials (unknowingly enough, I've had his perl
pages bookmarked for quite a while). I totally understand the whole RTFM
thing. I did RTFM - how else would I have known all the other things to try
in my original message (reproduced below)?:

It wouldn't have been that big of a deal if he didn't point me to the exact
same page that I had quoted from in my return email. And now, all of a
sudden, I'm "spamming"?

I'm not the one who initially accused me of not reading the manual and then
trying to pull a fast one over on everyone else ("You didn't search the
guide, even if you try to make everyone believe that you did").

You don't think I'm busy? I code large projects, run an ISP/webhost,
maintain a content site called Disobey.com which get a million hits a
month, and have been doing it for the past four years. Disobey brought the
world Ghost Sites and NetSlaves, and gets press
(disobey.com/about/presspit.shtml) frequently enough that it's becoming
flippin' annoying. But I digress.
I know what it's like to busy. I know what it's like to say "Hey! RTFM!".
But I don't like being sent to the same page that I quoted from, with
solutions outside of perl (which I had already said in another reply was
not what I was looking for), and then to be given an elitism attitude at
the same time.
If the list feels it best that I unsubscribe, then by all means, say so
offlist. For the record, however, I'm not the clueless newbie, I did RTFM
(although, as admitted in another post, skipped the explanation of
triggering the USR2 signal due to it being related to 'kill' and not a perl
solution), and was only impolite after the golden rule came into effect.
I hope ya understand.
