in thread qx + sed not working

Of course any regular here had the same thought, but you had to express it, start a thread hijack, rile up a round of kill-the-pig ... an anonymonk calls y'all on it, gets considered by the reigning chief bully, reaped, but you have to add the last word ...

So a reasonable newb question is utterly drowned in garbage. The newb probably feels dirty somehow and won't be back, while anyone who comes to the thread via search will be all SMH at the tone. Congrats. You must really love this place.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Objection. Assumes state of mind and facts not in evidence.

    The question was answered already; in a couple ways. The thread means nothing to the seeker at that point; the seeker likely does not even know as no CB messages or anything come. I upvoted all the OP's posts. I upvoted your answer because you're one of the most helpful monks when you're not playing social cop or Perl6 Temperance Maven. We actually seem to be quite like-minded in many ways and I know what you say is valid in part but the admonishments are ineffective on me because I disagree about the fundamentals of the situation and feel personally robbed 4,973 times out 5,000 you-know-who posts. What you accuse me of doing to SunnyD, I might argue you do to me and others; thread extension, fruitless castigation, etc. Except I think I have some ground to stand on comparatively so I'm not going to threaten or hide or post anonymously until worst nodes begins to clear of my GI .

    I do love this place. Whatever social stuff you don't like about me my other contributions and support of other contributors and newbies show that love. It's kind of messed up that you suggest otherwise.

    As far as last words, the post was repeated. I didn't even know the first had been reaped because I didn't vote on it. My Assistant Bully Sockpulpit in Chief had a suggestion as to the identity of the repeat offender. I thought it was plausible and amusing to chum the waters with a tailored non-sequitur to test the assertion.

    And is it really me who has a compulsion to have the last word? More we have in common perhaps. Go ahead and test it anew if you please. Uncle.
