I have found in all my years in this biz that when so called "experts" get
arrogant and condescending, it is usually because they don't
know what they are doing. The real experts love to talk and talk
about what they have learned. Sort of like letting the air out
of a compressed air container.
There is a Perl 6 mailing list with a bunch of great guys
over at
