Hey Merlyn.

I respect you. You know your stuff, no doubt about it. You even helped me get a better job, by turning me on to Perl with your book.

But hey! You're not supposed to say things like this! First off, you shouldn't be exerting your "influence" on others : let them make their own mistakes and learn from them, just like you did I'm guessing. You say Steeeve is bragging, but you're claiming you have an influence on "a large set of the audience" at PerlMonks. Now who's bragging?

Ok this is a stupid post from me and I expect to be downvoted for it. Off-topic etc, but let's chill out a bit. And really, your post seems to me like you're asking anyone who likes you on PM to dislike and downvote Steeve, and I don't like that.

my 2 cents, which may or may not make any sense once I hit preview...
