Re^4: Other effects of 'use utf8' on script

It’s obvious that you have kept careful records, and that apparently you have positively delighted in doing so

So have I! It has become one my many hobbies and I do enjoy it. Anyways, re replying to the wrong post, having lovingly kept careful records (though I've doubtless missed some), I believe you've done it twenty nine times: again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again (replies "Good sir, no matter how many times you throw garbage in my face" to himself!) and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. You could add still more enjoyment to my life by telling me whether you reply to the wrong node as a deliberate tactic or it's just that you naturally make lots of boo-boos. I can't sleep at night not knowing.

It’s obvious that you have kept careful records, and that apparently you have positively delighted in doing so I'm glad you highlighted this because I should have addressed it and needed a segue. I do not keep careful records. I think I've saved only one. It was trivial to produce both those lists. Anyone curious could do the second one at any time and the first is like clockwork but really just the bad luck of this epoch. The first was a direct grab of an HTML fragment from Worst Nodes. And because I'm JAPH this was easy– `perl -007 -pe 's{<a href.+?\?node_id=(\d+).+?</a>}{[id://$1]}gs' wn.ht +ml` [download] So, the effort involved in producing that rebuttal was under five minutes. Writing this reply has already taken as long. The second rebuttal took longer but it was also trivial and can be easily recreated. I visited locked_user sundialsvc4 ⇒ Writeups ⇒ Order by: lowest reputation first, click Search ⇒ Open a batch in new tabs, cut and paste node IDs, add downvote total manually in same pass to save time; one proofread then create. No recordkeeping necessary because there are plenty of tools and options for a technologist. It probably seems mysterious or even ominous and stalk-y to someone who doesn't know how to work with data but it was nothing special as you can see. Now the delight. When someone tells a bald-faced lie to impeach me I do take some pleasure in presenting the flaming pants to the courtroom. That is short lived though and is ultimately no recompense for the ongoing legal costs.	[reply] [d/l]

again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Catchy! Almost as repetitive as some modern dance tracks; which make Ride on Time seem positively literate. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
