Not only that, but I'm tickled pink that he told people to check
comp.lang.perl.misc, where he publicly posted very nasty and messages
to myself and others, and then my reply telling him to read the HTML
spec :-) It doesn't help his image much if he tells people to go and
read up that he is not being a very nice guy.  One other thing that
annoys him is pointing out that "But I'd be so simply it's not even
<4-letter expletive> . . . <expletive>" is not grammatically correct :-)

Hehe, you ought to read my post in comp.unix.advocacy regarding the
$10 Solaris CD :-)

I get flames thrown my way all the time and am rather thick-skinned
about it, but I get mad when people start spamming the lists that I
host.
