Oh, my! Don't get me started...so much of what you wrote is, in my experince, so very true. That is most impressive from one not 'in the business.'

As you've probably already recognized...I tend to write prolifically and I suspect the rest of the Monks would get both irrateted and bored with all the satellite talk.

So I'll hold my enthusiasm and just say that I agree with so much of what you said and I thank you for it. It gave me a lot to think about and to cogitate on...and grow from.

I would also like to note how very cleverly and kindly you brought the discussion back to Perl...which I'm sure the rest of the Monastery appreciates very much.

Thanks, dragonchild.
