Not by my reading of what you're saying in this group. You say you know perl, yet you call what I've said "extraordinary." Speaking of foolish. > Guess what, Billy: I know Perl, too.

Based on how you've held forth in this newsgroup, I wouldn't trust, to say nothing of use, anything you write. Why? Bad attitudes produce bad code. > So either back up your claim or retract it, or I'm done with you. What, again? And this time over such petty crap?
