Noting from the Anti-Troll FAQ:
Subject: 7.6 Morphed Identity
A morphed identity is when a poster has one usenet identity,
which changes in detail, to outwit killfiles. For instance the
name may remain the same and the email address change, or the
name and/or email address may contain accented characters which
are changed for different versions of the same letter.
Here are all of your selves as recorded by my killfile:
gordon etly get@bentsys.com 0
gordon etly get@invalidbentsys.com 0
gordon etly getly@bentsys-invalid.com 0
I have added another one with this post.
Now, I don't know about Individual.NET's policies regarding morphing,
but their terms of use seems to explicitly prohibit using domains you do
not own as your from address:
http://www.individual.net/rules.php
Sender Address
The e-mail addresses given in "From:", "Reply-To:", and "Sender:" should
be valid (= should not bounce because of invalidity). Using addresses
and name space of other people without their permission is prohibited.
It does not look like you own bent-INVALID-sys.com or invalidbentsys.com
or bentsys-invalid.com.
Don't morph. Pick one identity and stick with it.

1) My identity has never changed. It has always been Gordon Etly, which
is my name.
2) Why are you trying to speak for everyone. While certain people may
share your view (and vice versa), it doesn't mean you speak for the
whole of the group.

Any email address is not an identity. It's an email address. The "Name"
field is your identity), and I have not changed that. I am free to
change my email address field however I wish, as are you and anyone
else.

Being in control of your mail server actually allows you to fulfill the
"should not bounce because of invalidity" if you want to get down to
that. How a poster writes their email address is completely up to that
person. A rather large amount of people munge their email addresses, so
this isn't even an issue.
Lastly, attempting to pose that "identity" on a medium like UseNet
actually meaning something is idiotic at best. There is no guarantee
that a name you see is a real name, and in many cases it is not. Many
people use a "nick" name of sorts, and it is quite common to use a false
or munged email address to thwart spammer email harvesting.

There is no "Name" field. The From: header often includes both a name
and an email address. Changing one's From: header as often as you have
is a strong indicator of a troll.

It is not common to alter the From: header as often as you have done, no
matter whether your name is Gordon Etly, Gordon Gekko, or Trolly
McTroll.

Many readers separate the "name" and "email" fields. I never changed my
name. The email address part of the From: line is not a atatic entity;
one can always change their email address. It's anyone's right to do so,
as it's their info. You're not suggesting an email address is a reliable
way of tracking someone, are you?

Or someone who does not wish to satisfy someone's false notion that they
can force the last word using that tired old method. If they going to
reply and then inform you that you're killfiled, as if the public really
needs to know (#1), then it is no less wrong to circumvent their
killfile; it's attack an counter, something that's existed as long as
man.
If one really wants to ignore me, they can either not read my posts or
block my name, as that remains constant.

This is untrue. I see many people post one day with one name and/or
email and the next time I see a variant of their Name (or a nick name)
and/or a differing email address.

> McTroll.
My name has always been Gordon Etly. That is my identity; my name. If
one wishes to killfile me using that, then they are welcome to do so. If
they killfile me by email address then
(#1)
If you true need to ignore someone, you don't need to announce the fact,
or for that matter, one doesn't need a killfile either, though it can be
nice.

I do not think you understood what I wrote.
I'm not claiming that *this* overhead is small. What I say is that
*other* overheads may be not negligible.
Anyway, all overheads I know are in favor on LWP.

Yup, that's online discussing stuff for you. I am a little like that too
I guess, and I see this behavior a lot. I have little doubt that if you
meet those people IRL they are really nice people. Also, dealing every
day with people who are too lazy to even pick a decent subject, and
expect that "the Usenet people" act as their private help desk (free at
that), makes someone not always replying in a nice way, even to serious
questions (it's the main reason why I am giving up on Usenet again (and
permanently this time), real soon).

Duh! Times are different, it's not the late 80's anymore. If it helps,
think of Perl 6 as a new language, not a next release of Perl 5.x that
requires that the first digit is incremented.

I've no idea either. But I do know that some of my projects for personal
use do take a long, long time to finish. Why not help out with Perl 6?
Then not only you'll learn why it's going slow, but you could actually
help to speed things up.
But why the hurry? PHP is at version 6, (or is it 7 already) and from
what I've heard their Unicode support is still flaky.

From what I've glimpsed so far (and that's a little) the language is
much more clean compared to Perl 5. Of course some of the decisions I
don't like (to me $l[3] was always very clear), but on the other hand
I've the feeling that the language and got cleaner, and many features
just got more powerful. Think of the MS-DOS wildcards versus the regular
expressions you can use in Perl 5.x. You make it sound negative. You
*don't have to use them all* (it's not Pokemon after all).

So if someone writes: too busy with other things, and I have a family
too, you suddenly want to become a Perl 6 developer? IMO if you want to
help, just plan a few hours a week as "helping with Perl 6". Like I
said, I do check the todo list now and then, and there is room for help,
even simple things.

Well, maybe there might be a solution; donate some money.
Anyway, I am also still waiting for affordable holographic storage, and
a gazillion other goodies. But it's done when it's done. What's the
point of trying to blame someone or the methodology if it's just: lack
of manpower and lack of sufficient funds? (Just guessing here).

I am interested, I mean I own even a copy of "Perl 6 and Parrot
Essentials" [1]. But IMNSHO it's pointless to try to guess here why Perl
6 isn't in the shops already. I am sure that if the people working on it
know had bumped into an issue that could be overcome by disclosing that
issue on usenet, it would already have been done.
So, yeah, I am interested, but on the other hand I see Perl 6 as a new
language roughly based on Perl, or like a member of the Perl family
(which IMO includes PHP, even if it's a half-witted bastard).
As a professional Perl programmer I have no problem with waiting. I
already have often problems convincing customers to move to Perl 5.8, or
update their 4+ year old modules. I even haven't checked out Perl 5.10
yet.
Like I already wrote, if you want to play with Perl 6, it's already
possible, and has been possible for quite some time. You can even use
(some) Perl 6 features by using modules with Perl 5. How many
manufacturers of TVs, camera's etc. let you play with a prototype at
home?
> If you use Perl, it's natural to wonder about the next

Nah, you just guessed wrong. I do more than wonder, but it's pointless
to get all upset on Usenet on Perl 6 not being ready, nor that work on
Perl 7 hasn't started yet. Perl still does evolve, and to me it's
important that the next 5.x doesn't break too much things, and I think
the people who work on it (or have been working on it) do excellent
jobs. If I want Perl 6 released sooner, I have two options: donate a
significant sum of money, or contribute myself. Trying to find flaws in
the current development process, or waiting for news on why things are
slow is just IMNSHO futile.

I consider Perl 6 a new language (you quoted that). Some people just
want to learn new languages (I was like that many years ago, I learned a
lot of languages, and it's a good thing to do, I consider it an
important part of learning to program. The next step is learning that
specialism beats knowning of many things a bit :-D). Those people can
either play with what's available or, if that doesn't make them happy,
pick up another language.

But how is knowing why it's taking so long going to make it available
real soon now?

While I mostly agree, I still believe that if one feels they are going
to reply in a negative manner, it may be better just not to post. The
worst part about how people like post is they act as if someone is
forcing them to post, when the reality is they could just move on to
another post or take a break in general. It seems people who are
otherwise quite helpful, when they start posting negatively, they lose
focus on the helping aspect.

Actually I believe Perl 5 came out in the mid 90's or so, and it was too
reguarded as a new language comapred to Perl 4 and before, was it not?
(Granted, Perl 6 does seems like a much larger leap from P5 than P5 from
P4.)

Agreed.

According to http://www.php.net/downloads.php, the currently stable
release is 5.2.6, so unless you're referring to the minor part, I'm not
usre where you got those numbers.

Agreed, more peopel could check that list and it might help, but one
also has to wonder if they are trying to do too many things at a time.
IMHO, it may (have) be(en) better to do some features for the initial
release, get it out, and then add additional feature for the next
release(s), rather than everything at once.

I think you may have over-estimated the number!
Personally, I think the very large advantage (explained above) over HTML
outweighs any advantage HTML has for me in this medium. YMMV.

You are not calling parse() correctly.

Thanks! Total brain cramp... I _thought_ I had cut/pasted the call
to parse from the E::A man page but obviously I screwed up bigtime
[and it was one of those dumbnesses that after-the-fact you can't see
in your own code]. THANKS!!

parse is a class method.
C:\Temp> cat x.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Email::Address;
my $in = "My Name <myname\@verizon.net>";
print Dumper ( Email::Address->parse($in) )
__END__
C:\Temp> x
$VAR1 = bless( [
'My Name',
'myname@verizon.net',
'',
'My Name <myname@verizon.net>',
[
\'My Name <myname@verizon.net>',
'0'
]
], 'Email::Address' );
