The problem is that adding "please stop, please go away" postings to this
thread have 0 effect. Or worse, people posting such messages, and tweaking
the FollowUp-To: header resulting in more and more pollution.
It doesn't work, sad but true. Best is to kill the entire thread, hope the
long discussion stays in it, and dies out, and doesn't spark similar
discussions.
Also refraining from posting to any thread started by Xah Lee (I guess it
was "our" troll again), no matter how tempting, might help (I am going to
try, again).

And should it be crossposted to: comp.lang.perl.misc, comp.unix.programmer,
comp.lang.java.programmer, and comp.os.linux.misc?
