Quite!

Which is why deliberately obtuse pedantic posts like this deserve the responses they get.

So, instead of answering OP directly yourself, its better to interrupt another with "distractions"?

Because the other answerer is taking too long?

Then "distractions" turn to outright hostility?

That doesn't help the OP at all.

The perlmonks don't deserve that crap. What weird ego trip are you on
