So you know, I wasn't talking about me. I would take seasoned veterans to be
the likes of Randall, or Larry, or Damian, or Allison, or Leo, or Chip, or
Patrick, or anybody on the Perl Foundation Board, or perrin, or chromatic, or
MJD, or so on or so on. They are the seasoned veterans. I have programmed
Perl for awhile - but they are seasoned veterans.
I apologize for giving offense. None was pointed directly at you
intentionally - but some found you nonetheless. I am sorry.
Thanks Paul for the clarification. I too would never put myself in a
class anywhere near those listed above. In fact (and obviously), I
would put you closer to them than I. No need to apologize with that
clarification.
I didn't have time to down moderate my previous email after I left work. The
tone of my email reflects my frustration at the frequency and the emphasis
that many in the active online Perl sub communities tend to place upon such
an trivial issue. This thread has gone on far too long - because of my rant
against the practice.
I agree - I wasn't intending to fuel any flames either. I personally
(as stated) don't care either way. My main point was to help another
employer know that it was an issue with some people. I too think it's
silly, and in some ways hurts the community more than it helps.
Again I apologize, Jesse, for the received offense.
It's no problem. Having worked with you before, I know you are a fine
person. I would consider yourself as one of those you mention of
being one of the finest programmers in the valley. It was not my
intention either to argue and I hope you too have not been offended.
Jesse
