Re^4: perl-5.8.8 is out

You should really correct your statement to "That's not what Nick wrote and brian d foy approved for use.perl." I didn't quote anything, I didn't write the content, and I didn't tell Nick what to write.

If you have a question for Nick, ask him directly. :)

I didn't quote anything, What is one to think when a use.perl posting posted by brian_d_foy says nicholas writes "Perl 5.8.8 Release Candidate 1 has been uploaded to CPAN..." One can't be blamed for thinking that brian_d_foy is quoting nicholas clark, because that's what it says in black and white. I have since learned that this was posted under a kind of editorial, third-party article submission mechanism. So (not that I'm asking or expecting anything to change over at use.perl) I'll just suggest that I might not be the only use.perl reader who could be confused by the way "stories" are posted and attributed. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]
