Sorry, it appears that I did misunderstand. "Heckle" did see a bit strong
for what happened, with or without a smiley. ;)
I am perhaps over-sensitive about the whole thing because my RFCs got
singled out which was embarrassing. (But completely warranted; my RFCs were
the exact example of what Larry was talking about).
Of course, I was fortunately in the dark and the people around me couldn't
see my face turn bright red. ;)

Yeah, it was unfortunate that he got cut short. I thought that it would
have probably been a good idea to plan a Perl BoF that Larry could have led
so we could have heard more, but the BoF board was so full at the
conference, it didn't seem like it was feasible. :(
