don't worry too much about the voting stuff. there's bound to be some groupies about, and other people, who take it much too seriously. you don't exactly get points for being right, or steering someone in the right direction; although some of us do try. you get points for striking a chord with the people who happen to read it. i'm sure that the person starting a thread does appreciate honest/direct/intellectual replies...when their thread gets hi-jacked into perl geek oblivion.

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).
