Hmm. How about refusing posts from people who not only ignore the conventions for the capitilisation of proper nouns, but those that insist that everyone else do the same?

After that, we should restrict posting to those who have web cams so that we can verify that they are wearing ties, and not wearing trainers.

Or would that be are not wearing ties and are wearing trainers? After all, Perl is OSS and alternative, and for hackers. And hackers are cool dudes that have beards and long hair and tee shirts (or should that be t-shirts?) don't they?

I know the meek are meant to inherit the earth, but they darn well better hurry up because the anal retentive are beating them to the punch open-handed slap.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
