Which is why I like quantative assessments such as CPANTS much better. I really ought to look behind the sofa and see if I can find some tutits to help implement a citation index for CPAN

The first name is without a doubt Italian but the second seems to be Spanish.
Perhaps it isn't a conspiracy. Perhaps they voted in reaction to Randal's vote.
I think that a one star rating on all the modules was unfair. They should have been rated on their usefulness, implementation or efficacy. Instead they were downrated to make a point. That was unworthy.

However, if I could find a way to simply delete my 1-star ratings (which apply only to an outdated version), I would. I have not found any way to do that though.

Thank you for saving everybody from one more childish action of you, because your post itself is already childish enough, since while you did take the time to do offensive irony, you didn't take the time to verify the following:
1. Verify that Carlos Molina Garcia is from Venezuela, as you could have seen by just doing a Google search even BEFORE thinking about your post
2. Verify that both Massimiliano Ciancio and Carlos Molina Garcia "springed into existance" as regular u

So I was wrong. Hardly the first time that this has happened, and neither will it be the last time. It isn't worrying me a lot. It isn't uncommon to sense fishiness under the circumstances that I described. Tough luck that my assumptions were wrong. On the other hand, it has p
