There we agree. > Weaselwording is counterproductive. You appear to have changed topic? The empty words most often come from those who would impress their superiority on the rest of us.

Think about it - that is laughable. It is certainly the way to American success to appear to have an unattainable skill, but is is certainly not the way to wellbeing and progress for people in general. As I mentioned in a previous post, you have softened recently. So it is likely that your life has improved and you are better provided for, and no longer have the need to abuse. I am very happy for you, and for the rest of the world who would read this list. As for the others who can see no problem in their nastiness, and indeed who find an excuse that it is their job to prepare the list members for life, please concentrate on preparing yourselves for life. We have other resources if we are struggling, but we come to this list to learn about Perl.
