Re: [OT] How about an Off Topic Section?

Would 'Related Topics' be more acceptable?

That would work. ++ to GotToBTru for a better Section name.

Rules

PM has lots of rules and I specified in my OP that the "...section should have some relation to Perl". But working with Perl still requires your dealing with a lot of related computer problems.

Is it too much to be able to ask first at your favorite forum?

Would you go to the Post Office to buy groceries? Some non-Perl questions are welcomed here -- DB issues, for example because the person raising the question is (or would be well-advised) to use Perl as part of the problem, but I suspect we'd rather quickly reject a "Dear Abby" request for help as OT. I certainly hope so and thus prefer "Related Topics" if we were to add an OT section.	[reply]

Would you go to the Post Office to buy groceries? Yes, -- I do that regularly. What was your point? Anyway, I think an 'Related Topics' section is a good idea, at least regular users would have some idea of the reputation of the responder. It can be very difficult going to a new site as you never know if the answer you've got came from the village idiot or the resident genius.	[reply]
