In case you know the monk's real name, Thanks to Joe Schmoe will actually reveal the monk's identity if someone correlates the code with a posting on perlmonks.com -- something the helping monk probably won't like to happen.
Just curious, but are most monks afraid of someone correlating their perlmonks alias with their real name?

    It could suck if you were posting contrary to corporate intranet policy when you were supposed to be working ... q.v. Professional Employees and Works for Hire

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    Personally, I'm terrified. To think that my real name would be:

    1) Linked to my username. Egads!
    2) My code would be linked to me. Everything I post is unintentionally wrong and could detonate at any moment.

    All jocular of course - I really don't care except that I have a very, hmm... unique name, and people might try to track me down and sell me magazines or something. Blech.
