    OK, first of all, you need to calm down, and consider the fact that folks like ww have been here a lot longer than you and probably understand things about how this site works that you have no clue about.

    There ARE NO UNCLOSED TAGS IN MY POST

    In fact, there are some improperly closed tags in your post, specifically, a few occurrences of the sequence <i><b>...</i></b>. (You've also got a couple other minor HTML infractions, such as not closing your <li> tags and not enclosing your <li> list in <ul> tags.)

    Now, you would know this, just as ww knew it, if you had your HTML error reporting levels cranked up in your Display Settings.

    i used <pre> tags to preserve the <code> in what appears to be in <code>

    If you looked closely*, you'd realize that your post is not the same as BrowserUK's post: you used <pre> tags where he used <c> tags. Yes, <c> tags. Which you would have and should have known about if you had ever actually read Writeup Formatting Tips. This is precisely why the gods invented the <c> tag, and why the admonition against using <pre> tags is not as lightly waived as you'd like to imagine.

    * To look closely, view the "real source" of the writeup by clicking the xml link below the node's title.

    I don't think it matters whether my_nihilist is right or wrong; i just don't like his/her attitude.

    But i can't prove a thing and have nothing more to say :P

      This struck me as trollish, sounding like somebody replying to themselves while pretending to be somebody else. Checking showed that all three nodes in this thread were posted from the same IP (the nodes by my_nihilist, Anonymous Monk, and halfcountplus). This also confirmed my increasing impression that the interactions between my_nihilist and halfcountplus in the chatterbox sounded like somebody talking to themselves.

      So, you wanted more attention, feeling the need to take a discussion in a sub-thread and escalate it into a new root node. So, now you have even more reason to get that extra attention.

      As to your supposed original complaint, you didn't even link to the proper node, the one that was accused of having unclosed tags: Re^2: newbies, <code> tags and recognizing perl. If you go to display settings and turn on "Enforce proper nesting of HTML" and set "HTML error reporting level" to 3, then you'll be able to see quite a few reports for mis-nested tags in Re^2: newbies, <code> tags and recognizing perl.

      And you don't need to use PRE tags to get </code> to appear in "code", just use <c> tags like <c></code></c>.

      (FYI, missing word added before the appearance of reply urging "you should proofred beter".)

      - tye        

        Just to toss out an idea: one thing I've seen on some blogs to discourage this sort of sock-puppetry is to display a hash of the posting IP along with either all posts or just those from unregistered / anonymous commenters. That way you know that the "dazzling witty" comment that 4 "different" commenters are all "independently" praising all came from the same source.

      woops, sorry... I spoke too soon. I always have more to say. ;-)
