in thread Worst week ever?

Hmm, I've only posted in the Perl Poetry and Perl Monks Discussion sections in the past week. Now you made me feel unrepresented and infrequently used kcott. :-)

    G'day perldigious,

    "Now you made me feel unrepresented and infrequently used kcott. :-)"

    Oh, no! Well, we can't have that now, can we?  :-)

    Your poem, Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe — which, incidentally, I upvoted, along with 25 others (at the time of writing) — was posted too early to be in the range of the Newest Nodes snapshot. Congratulations on Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe's high Reputation.

    Looking at Perl Poetry, I see gaps, typically lasting weeks, and somtimes months, between posts; your own, Posthumous Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe, was the first post in over four months, and there hasn't been one since (at the time of writing). I think "Infrequent" is a reasonable description.

    [Aside: Your link to Poetry, actually returns the home node of a monk named Poetry. I suspect your markup has '[Poetry]'; understandable, given the Section link names at the top of your page, but wrong. I've had these types of name collisions in the past: to avoid any chance of future, such collisions, I use the node's ID, like this: [id://1590|Poetry]Poetry (Perl Poetry) and [id://1075685|Poetry]Poetry (a monk named Poetry).]

    PMD, along with SoPW and others, were not mentioned because they did have entries and I was writing about Sections that didn't. This is why your eagle-eyed Number of replies shown in Monastery Gates incorrect? — which, incidentally, I upvoted, along with 17 others (at the time of writing) — wasn't mentioned. Congratulations on Number of replies shown in Monastery Gates incorrect?'s high Reputation.

    [Aside: Your PerlMonks Discussion link is also stuffed: it resolves to a Super Search page. The problem is similar enough to the last to have the same fix, yet dissimilar enough to not include a monk named "PerlMonks Discussion".]

    [Aside: Having bagged two of your three links, I thought I'd better say something positive about the third, which does appear to operate correctly. As before, you can remove any chance of a name collision by using a node's ID, e.g. [id://861371|Ken]Ken (my home node).]

    Hopefully, that resolves the representation issue; frequency may be in the hands of a Muse or two.  :-)

      Ah, well that's embarrassing, I obviously didn't check my links. Thank you for pointing them out and for the node ID tip, I believe I have them fixed now. My comment was meant in jest, I agree with your assessment of "infrequent".

        "Ah, well that's embarrassing, ..."

        No need to be embarrassed. It's just a couple of dud links, which you immediately fixed. We all make mistakes: this is a good thing as we can learn from them. Some years ago, I peppered a page with links like [http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/splice.html|split]: I'm sure everyone has a not too dissimilar yarn they could spin.

        Besides, as I used small [Aside: ...] blocks, I imagine few people will pay much attention.  :-)

        "... I obviously didn't check my links."

        The best time is when you're [preview]‍ing. You can [preview] as often as you want. As it only takes a second or two (YMMV), I typically hit [preview] after most edits: this checks the modifications are as wanted and nothing else is broken.

        Tip: Open test links in a new tab/window/panel/whatever: this prevents any issues with the tests, interfering with the preview page.

        "Thank you for pointing them out and for the node ID tip, ..."

        You're welcome.

        "... I believe I have them fixed now."

        Thanks for that.

        "My comment was meant in jest, ..."

        Indubitably.  :-)

        "... I agree with your assessment of "infrequent"."

        Thanks.
