Nettie and I will have Inigo in our prayers for a successful outcome of the surgery. You are indeed an esteemed and respected friend, even though some of the list participants don't show it in their behavior.

Bruno and 1T3XT are very consistent in their behaviors, when their responses are triggered by certain undesirable acts on the part of some participants on the discussion list. IMO, before posting, participants should lurk a while, so they can learn the triggers they should avoid.
Operating in "Blurt mode", asking questions that have already been answered many times before, and asking questions the answers of which can easily be found by seaching the book, tutorials, examples, documentation, and list archives, are easily-discernable triggers.
A Google search for "posting guidelines comp.lang.perl.misc" will show a new participant a sample of guidelines that should be followed -- substitute "iText" for "Perl".
Best regards,

P.S. Congratulations, Bruno, on the outstanding 1st-year success of _iText in Action_. It would be the number one reference on my technical bookshelf, except it stays instead on the top of a stack of reference books, close at hand, next to my computer. I wonder how many people are ready for a 2nd copy, e.g., one to replace the one that's nearly worn out. :-)
