in thread Posting Unrelated News Items

    To say that there is absolutely no room for anything but pure Perl posts is to dismiss one of the greatest qualities of this site.

Whoa... good thing I didn't say that, then.

I think you misunderstand me. I'm not saying that news posts are bad and shouldn't be tolerated, nor am I suggesting that Meditations should have stricter content guidelines. I'm suggesting that maybe Meditations isn't the right place for news posts, and that Perl News would be a better place. Calm down.

    Seems to me the surest way to rile someone up is to tell them to calm down. I believe you misinterpreted my remarks, you asked for an opinion and you recieved one. It just happens to be one I feel strongly about.

    As for using Perl News I (as a poster) would feel it inappropriate placement as the intro to that section reads

    This section used to collect Perl-related news items from news.perl.org (Copyright 2000, Chris Nandor) which has now been merged into use.perl.org. Please visit use.perl.org for Perl-related news.

    coreolyn No flame intended.
