       Nah, that's comp.lang.perl.

       This group is more like a school playground where the place is
       filled with kids who see gems when other people only see rocks,
       and everyone shares in the magic of a found treasure even if it's
       really just something a grown-up threw away. And when they find
       something that truly is junk it is just thrown away with a laugh,
       and a race to find the next cool thing :-)" Bryan Oakley

"If these wieners [who post to comp.lang.tcl] (and I mean that in the
nicest possible way) can't help, I don't know who can."  Ian McGarva

"You can reasonably expect to sit down at a 'bare' computer, and install,
begin to use, and acquire a rudimentary feel for Tcl/Tk in a couple of
hours." Cameron Laird

"Maybe if Tcl/Tk were harder to learn, or more confusing, or you needed to
look things up a lot when you were using it.  Then people would buy more
books. :-)  [oreilly.com lists 28 Perl books, and only 4 Tcl books]"  Bob
