"In fact, the response I got from jplindstrom seems to indicate factually that they did not think of that, and that they took no offense at my tone."

I didn't. Actually, I didn't even see the node until after you updated it with that list of yours. The list I found annoying more than anything else. That's not what I'm here for. I'm here to learn Perl (and occationally contribute what I can).

I appreciate your answer to my question. I don't appreciate the meta discussion it produced.

(On the other hand, meta discussion is in my experience one of the key indicators of a working online community (sorry for being so -97 :) , so maybe I should be thankful...)

"I'd be curious to see if jplindstrom voted me up or down on the node. You know, that's really the only real vote that matters."

You know, I still haven't voted on it. Sorry. Ironically, that also means I have no idea what score it has. But I'm not that curious, and you now know what I think of it; other nodes, most likely one or two of yours, deserve the ++ more.

Now, on the "personality vote" issue... I'm not even gonna go there.
