Yeah it's really hard for the folks not in NYC & DC to understand what's 
happening here.  Our "unfeeling perl wizard" just doesn't know what's 
going on.  He's seen it on TV and it looks like a movie.  He's not 
smelling the smells we're smelling or seeing firemen (et al) exhausted and 
crying.  He has no idea how much it hurts to call and call you friends and 
not have them call you back; you know why they aren't calling you back, 
but you call and call anyway.  He needs to get on with his life and do his 
job to get over this.  I'm on 14th and I am doing my job (mostly) too but 
he can't possibly feel what I an my whole office feel; that since we're 
writing scripts and such that our jobs are stupid and meaningless while 
the truly brave are digging the victims out of the rubble.

I envy him and his bravado.  I wish I was a thousand miles away too.  I 
wish my friends would call me back.

here's an email from an unfeeling perl wizard.  i see his point somewhat, 
but his lack of compassion is alarming.

The word is "you're".
 
And how am I an idiot? You're the one pestering all of us with this crap?
 
Are you really such a stupid little shit that you don't know that that's 
how you're supposed to be acting.  That was the whole point of the exercise.  
Everything is supposed to come to a stop, we're all supposed to piss in our pants, and 
be unable 
to do anything, cowards and weaklings that we are.
 
Me? I refuse to play.  If all this wailing and gnashing of teeth would 
bring even one of those people back, or bring any comfort to their 
families, I'd be out there wailing and teeth gnashing with the best of 
them.  But it won't help.  Therefore, I intend to continue to live my life to the 
fullest 
until something puts an end to it, and I'm not going to give some fanatic 
the satisfaction of changing that.
 
I've got a life to live and a job to do, and I intend to get on with both. 
 You make your own choice, and don't bother me with it.

because seeingthe emails about perl questions, so soon after this, seems 
obtuse and cold.
