Two things:
- I've never downvoted one of your posts for anything other than the content: lack of substance, misleading or harmful advice, attempts to divide and cause dissension, desperate attention-seeking, and/or wasting everyone's time.
- You're almost the only poster I've ever downvoted. I haven't cast more than a handful of downvotes for others in my years here. That's how hesitant I am to use it, but you earn it over and over. I might feel bad about it if I thought you weren't doing it on purpose.
I used to ignore your posts; using an RSS reader makes that easy to do. But I've been told that part of responsible membership in PM is countering your nonsense with downvotes and corrections so that you can't confuse newbies, because you simply can't be banned (for reasons that are beyond me).
So I won't ignore you anymore. Now I'll make sure to give your posts the votes and treatment that their content deserves. I'd rather be helping honest questioners or exchanging interesting ideas and code, but it seems that cleaning up after you is part of the deal. So be it.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
