I also got a private message from "merlyn" telling me to stop using all caps when I say "PERL" Oh what like he is some kind of big PERL expert??? Gimme a break!

He is.

Technically, he is an expert in Perl and possibly in perl, not in PERL :)

I'm just wondering if we're feeding the troll here. Wouldn't it be better to ignore who has proved to be it beyond every reasonable doubt? Or wouldn't it be better to pretend it's a joke, as suggested by many? Just thinking.
