Wow, someone's hit the nail on the head finally. Some people like being told how to think. Others like to express themselves. I, for one, quite enjoy the looseness of Perl's syntax. To each his own. Jonathan's main problem is that he's so convinced of his own superiority that he's completely blind to other people's opinions. I used to be like that when I was younger. We all start that way, just some of us learn that there are other equally smart (or smarter) people out there who don't necessarily agree with us.
