The participation over time that we are discussing clearly destroys any possible market value of the associated publicity
Though I personally agree,
I was taken aback at the
"any publicity is good publicity"
opinions expressed recently in Re^3: Stop Using Perl.
After performing a casual google search just now,
it seems plausible to me that a non-PM-insider
would find only
sundialsvc4 -- which shows 16,251
experience points spread across 3606 writeups,
alongside a splendid CV. Impressive.
Remember that a non-PM-member does not see a
node's rating, even a member doesn't see
it until they have voted.
So unless the casual searcher stumbles
upon Worst Nodes, or takes the
time and trouble to examine a considerable number
of postings and replies in detail, they may come
away with a favorable impression.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
