I don't mean to take sides, but I should point out that what Shlomi is being criticized to have done, has been done by others in the past at varying degrees. And while I don't suggest Shlomi has a need to defend himself, one defense is to just say those others were allowed to do it... Maybe Shlomi was a bit off-topic and maybe he is critical of people's coding style -- I don't know for sure as I (honestly) didn't follow that thread closely. But, if these things should not be part of this mailing list, then someone ought to say something *irrespective* of whether such a message is posted by Shlomi, a Perl newbie, or someone highly respected in the Perl community. Otherwise, the criticism leveled at Shlomi is a bit unfair...
