Responding if I may to stevieb’s exceedingly discourteous, but not-unexpected reference to our highly-esteemed “Perl-monk.”

Do I care about “XP-clipping”?     Nope.  I have a “Rhett Butler”™ attitude about “XP.”   Besides, what’s wrong with dressing up a load of old codswallop with “lot‘s” "of" ‘different’ quotes and _s^t_y^l_i^s_tⁱ_c devices and flowery analogies to fool the unknowing into a few up-votes? Having from time to time been the subject of “down-voting” and some fairly harsh statements   ...   I simply take all of these things in-stride  ...   I welcome it  ...   I don’t give a “tinker’s ‘dam’” about XP as in “brownie® points.”   upvoted.   “++”

Update: in-step with the OP, removed name of our highly-esteemed “monk who shall not be named.”
