Whoever had downmoded my comment: please, can you explain me the rationale for such action? So I never again piss you off with, what seems to me, an in-topic comment.

Thank you very much.



You probably stepped on the toes of someone who likes Perl and Windows. Particularly, you mentioned Mac OS which some people have an inexplicable antithesis towards. You're playing with fire, my friend ;) Downmods are the least of your worries now.


I can explain the antithesis:

1. They fear the unknown; 2. They fear fanatics.

Mac OS is The Unknown to them + Mac users tend to be pretty rabid fanatics = Let's bash them!


I think I know what you mean, being a Perl programmer and Mac user myself :)
