My initial reaction was to admire your method (++) and ignore your initial (tendentious) assertion.

But, for the sake of future readers, would you be so good as to post chapter and verse of what's "wrong" with my previous post?

The whole thing, from the nonsense about posting too much code, to the pointless regurgitation of How do I post a question effectively?, to the incredulous intimidatory junk about NodeReaper and violators

Basically, if you ain't going to help this first time poster, don't bother him while others are actually trying to help him -- don't be a troll

It was trivial to help the OP, but you chose to try and be witty -- you weren't witty at all

Even the the bit about readmore tags was pointless;

Do we need to get "in your face" about readmore-tags?

Heck no!

For the sake of future seekers of perlmonks wisdom, readmore tags should be automatic -- the OP managed to use code tags, readmore tags should be automatic -- hounding newbies to add readmore tags is waste of time
