I've been coming to Perlmonks for about two months give or take a week (ok, just checked the home node and it's since Wed Jul 19 at 15:28). In that time I have marveled at the helpful attitudes and giving spirit here. My background is in the non-profit sector, where i hope to return to when I get my little girl setup with a college and trust fund (go QSFT!). And not since those non-profit days have I seen so many people helping one another with so little to gain other than the intangible. Maybe it's all the caffine and the sudden realization that I WILL miss my deadline tommorow, but I juat wanted to give a heartfelt thanks to everyone who's helped me.

what inspired this was reading RE: Re: checking if new CGI worked, which actually makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about. when i signed up here, i would not even have understood that node, and now I can write it! so the congratulations go to me :))

thanks monks. if you have an Oracle question, I'm your man :)
