Why do you feel that pointing people to relevant resources to the question at hand on http://perl-begin.org/ (which I assume is what you mean by "your site") constitutes spamming? And why do you think that this fact protects you from my criticism of you? > If we take off the parts where you just rip through > people's style, platform, or design choices, or reprimand them for not > following what you consider to be the One True Way of writing emails, > the number is good, but not that hight. I admit that I tend to comment on people's style, design choices or code issues a lot. Other posters here also do that a lot. Normally, I do that because such problems should be avoided in the future, and because I'm reviewing the entire code and commenting on everything I find (which may include some fixes to bugs). Do you feel that when people post to this list, one should not comment on the bad elements exhibited in their code? Regarding my E-mail netiquette comments, can you point to an email where I commented about that, and did not write a Perl-related answer to the question asked? > > > Now before I configure my mail filters to filter out all your posts to > > beginners@perl.org because they tend to make me irritated, > > Feel free. > > > I ask you to change > > your ways.

You have a problem with my writing, forward it to > the list moderator, or filter me out. You are right that the world does not revolve around me, and that I may often like being the centre of attention. Before I resort to filtering you out, which I'd rather not do, will you consider what I said? > > > And you've got to practise what you preach. > > I am.
