in thread What editing mode am I in when interacting with a Perl script using OS X Terminal? Because the keyboard works differently to a normal shell.

How can I tell how helpful he is from clicking on his username?

By reading the answers that he's given.

Look, you were snarky with one of the most helpful guys on this site because he misread your wordy question ("First let me tell you what's not my problem....") while trying to help you. I called you on it, as did at least one other monk. You'll see that your snarky post has a -6 rep (up from -7). That's because it was snarky and a bunch of people wanted to let you know that.

Right before you posted your snarky comment, which I called you on rather gently, I posted a nice solution to your problem. Not that I expect a thank you for sharing what I know . . . but I see that you did find time to downvote my straight-ahead reply to your penultimate clueless question.

With each reply you come off as more self-entitled and rude.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Just to be clear, by "click on his username", you meant "click on his username, read each of his 500 posts to this community and form an overall assessment of his helpfulness based on them". Got it. Let me ask you a question. Is stevieb giving me a hard time? No. Somehow it's your job to tone-police contributions here. Good luck with that.
