You, on the other hand, remind me of Larry Wall, who popped into comp.lang.awk around '93 or '94, and rather than try to help someone solve his awk problem, tried to get him to rewrite it into perl....
I'll take that as a compliment. Larry has always been brilliant. Note that I'm not against continuing to use anything that works - I just don't see the point in learning awk today since there are better and more completed alternatives today and think it is a bad idea to recommend to anyone.
