where is the 'robin is an idiot' selection?

what does this have to do with perl? i see no perl code in there or in
your post.

Is such hostility and arrogance common in this forum? I sure hope not but
recent discussions I've read are proving it to be true.

Just because you do not see the code does not mean that it is not there.
Obviously it is written in perl given that it is a cgi file. Robin is
probably just showing an example of his or her work. There's no need for
an attack.

not really. but sometimes somethings deserve a good smacking.

bah! CGI ne Perl. please learn that before you learn another perl
thing. cgi is a way for a web server to run programs on behalf of a web
query. said programs can be written in ANY language. perl just happens
to be a very popular langauge for that. do you also think the net is
only the web?

as for the OP, this is a perl newsgroup and not a cgi one. if she asked
a perl question or posted perl code along with that, it would have been
fine. but showing just the poll page is useless and i still call it
dumb. it is not an attack on her but on the post itself.

I realize that and recognize that my choice of words was poor.

You mean there's more to net than just AOL? LOL! I've been involved with
various aspects of the internet for many years now.

If we can't see the code, why should we care about Robin's post?

He's talking about the Internet as a whole...there are other webs besides
the internet.

How did you come to that illusion?

If you lurk for awhile you will be able to decide for yourself.

That is an absurd conclusion.

You have a serious misunderstanding of the technologies involved
if you think that that is true.

You can use just about any programming language that you choose for
writing CGI programs.

Making off-topic posts is reason for an attack in any newsgroup,
there is nothing specific to clp.misc in it.

Making an off-topic post is universally seen as being rude.

Be prepared to reap what you sow.

I know. That's why I made that horrible joke.
