in reply to Let's discuss Podmaster's Signature

Once upon a time, in my pre-Internet BBS days, we had only two rules:

  1. Do not be overly annoying.
  2. Do not be too easily annoyed.

I'd say at least one of these applies here.

    I was going to post that myself. I've got it down as a quote from Ken Kaplan, Fidonet pioneer. It was on the log in screen for the old telechat server at HotWired. Extra ++ :-)

      And when I did I found this other little gem there as well: blockquote>"Judge not, lest ye be judged!" Which I thought was rather appropriate. Later yesterday I was having some struggles with a module and I looked for alternatives. One is maintained by princepawn, the other is not. Guess which I chose.

      My decision is undoubtedly unfair. May not be in my best interests and is no doubt a technological step backwards. But do I want to be relying on some-one who is so quick to judge? I refer not only to this thread, but also the "battle" with chromatic, tilly and others after the appearance of the perl.com article on DBIx::Recordset a couple of years ago.

      I'm sorry princepawn but every time I read posts of yours I sense a very negative energy. Every time I have something to do with C::DBI, CGI::A or other module authors I contact it is a very rewarding experience. I can't take the risk on a sometimes belligerant maintainer for something I rely on.
