Hi Erez, next time, please don't omit the links in your quoted reply, so people will understand what we're talking about. (Unless it was one of GMail.com's many braindamages, in which case I'm sorry for accusing you.)

"We" being me and my subordinate clan of underground gnomes who live in caverns under Swansea and who are mortally afraid of Chuck Norris as he kills all gnomes he sees in sight.

Why should they ignore that? While common, it is still a mistake, which may mean anything from a bad impression due to looking like a clueless idiot, to not being accepted into a lucrative position. I've done them a favour by referring them to the resource explaining the mistake and why and how it should be avoided. And for the record, I said that only *after* referring them to http://perl-begin.org/ where they can find the resources that they requested. Erez, it seems that you spend a lot of energy passing criticism on my replies to the list. What benefit do you feel it yields? May I request that you lose the attitude?
