bravo! Honest, clear and propositive.
Intelligent and honest peoples change their minds as they progress.

I like perlmonks and would like to see it getting better. The best plus is a still big amount of keen programmers, normally well disposed to every kind of question (if well asked).

The worst i faced here, over the time, is when rude words come from high experience monks: this can be highly discouraging and need to be avoided. Politness must be a must. At the end is a monastery not an highway motel!

I subscribe your opinion salva.
