Howdy!

OK. So merlyn elided the first part of the exchange. He made a perfectly reasonable request. He did not take your initial reply as an absolute refusal and pointed out a good reason why he repeated the request, with a useful pointer to how to simply satisfy it.

If that caused you to lose your patience and respond like an ass, I think you should recalibrate your sensitivities. You still could have said something like "No, I refuse to support MakeMaker."

You had it in your power to act like an adult. You chose something else.

Your last little dig is pretty lame. Do you really want to take the comparison down that path, Mr. Kettle?

yours,
Michael
