in thread Open txt file using default program on Windows

Jim, you misunderstood BUK's intention and I would have too.

That's OK, it's nobodies fault, just a misunderstanding.

Now, please don't fall into the trap of quarreling 10s of levels deep.

You're only wasting time and energy.

Just ignore this subthread, like I do and enjoy your live! =)

Cheers Rolf

    I had just discovered this 2012 thread in PerlMonks Discussion, which I wish I'd read much earlier. Very enlightening reading. I didn't "fall into the trap." I confess:  I set it. ;-)

    You saw this final post, right? I expected this absurd non sequitur to make it fairly obvious to veteran PerlMonks what I'd just done. I certainly proved my conjecture—at least to myself. ;-)

      I don't get it, what do you think you had just done?

        I demonstrated that BrowserUk is an arrogant bully and a relentless arguer, but that he can easily be led by the nose by someone who isn't as intelligent as he is and who lacks his rhetorical prowess. Oh, and I also demonstrated that all his devoted sycophants will follow right behind him.
