      So I am being banned out there now?

Dear Monk,
You certainly have a lot to learn. But I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and making the presumption that you are willing to learn. So I will spend some time to answer your post even though I am becoming more convinced that you are a troll.

If you were being "banned" we have a special place of punishment for monks who have committed venial sins against the Monastery.

But instead of "banning" you personally your node was consigned to reaping. In the end the gods deigned to unreap your node and let it stand for all the world to see.

That's called peer review. Surely someone with 22 years of IT experience understands what peer review is.

      Listen..I have 22 years IT experience and I have TWO COLLEGE degrees!

You are not helping yourself by repeating that over and over again. I have been in the IT world since 1982. Big deal. I know lots of folks that have been in the IT world 1 year 22 times. Meaning they make the same mistakes over and over again and never learn from them.

Having lots of "time in service" and having experience are two different things.

Truthfully, I've been involved in computers since 1971 and have been there done that in a lot of phases of the computer field. I still consider myself a "student" of the computer field in that I still learn something new on a regular basis.

Another bit that normally comes with true long term experience is maturity. Maturity means you know how to deal with other people without having to resort to tantrums and tactics of a sort that 2 year olds use.

The more you repeat what your qualifications allegedly are the more trouble I have believing you have them.

      I was merely trying to explain that if he was using IBM for DOS networking tools he probably wouldn't be having so much trouble network hacking.

How, pray tell me, did this constructively contribute to the discussion at hand? While this is a Monestary religious arguments (if you were trying to foment one) are not tolerated. I could go on an on for days over why I consider Unix in general and Linux in particular more well suited for the datacenter than Windows. But I don't out of respect for those who have a preference for Windows. There is no place for religous argument in any forum. If you want to engage in one try doing so privately. I know that I'd just build a filter that ignored your emails if you tried that tactic with me and you're very close to getting your name added to my list of /ignoreed users here.

      I also got a private message from "merlyn" telling me to stop using all caps when I say "PERL" Oh what like he is some kind of big PERL expert???

Do you even know who merlyn is? Or do you even care?

I've been messing about with Perl since the late eighties when it was posted to alt.unix.sources as a collection of uuencoded shar files. In spite of my longevity with Perl I would not hesitate to say that merlyn has probably forgotten more about Perl than I've learned.

Understanding who someone you are dealing with is before you get your panties in a bunch about what they tell you is called "respect" where I come from. If you want respect you need to learn to give it out. What you sow is what you reap.

      22 YEARS EXPERIENCE TWO COLLEGE DEGREES

Sorry... that doesn't impress me. You have succeeded in giving me the impression that you are an educuated troll fool. Whatever your 22 years of experience is in, I'm not convinced that you've learned anything important.

    Yeah, what was the purpose of reset again?
          what was the purpose of reset again?

        Resetting "A-Z" is not recommended because you'll wipe out your @ARGV and @INC arrays and your %ENV hash. Resets only package variables--lexical variables are unaffected, but they clean themselves up on scope exit anyway, so you'll probably want to use them instead.

      You mean... that reset? :-)
