Hello. Mark-Jason Dominus has an interesting rant about bad questions at: http://www.plover.com/~mjd/perl/Questions.html I would love it if: - people read this - newbies learn from this how to ask - old timers learn from this how to ignore rather than flame M-J D is a Perl hacker, but most of what he's talking about is relevant to this list, too. -- believing is seeing [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.forum2.org/gaal/
