Re^3: Haven't Scripted in a Decade, need help (gift is probably a better word)!

I had to Google "animosity" to make sure the word means what I thought it means. It does:

"The meaning of ANIMOSITY is a strong feeling of dislike or hatred : ill will or resentment tending toward active hostility : an antagonistic attitude."

which puzzles me because none of the replies you received contained anything anywhere near "animosity".

In my view a key part of interactions on PerlMonks is to teach / learn. Part of being an effective teacher is understanding the level of understanding of the student. I'm very sorry if my attempt to reach that understanding was interpreted as anything other than trying to be helpful!

Yes, please show us what you produce, but with the intent that we provide some constructive criticism and guidance to help you recover your lapsed coding foo.

Hi Grandfather, please dont take offence. It was an off-the-cuff comment. I write as I speak; with a sarcastic, jocular tone that can't be heard on a forum board and tend to over exaggerate for a bit of artistic flare! I'm grateful for your help, I was specific in writing thanks for your replies (plural) even though I did not reply directly to you. Genuinely, your help is appreciated and your advice sound. Thanks again. :)	[reply]
