i'm sorry, but i do not consider this a topic for "Perl Monks Discussion".

here is the description of the purpose of this section from the Site How To page:

This is where users can discuss features they might like to see. Why the XP system kicks/sucks etc.... this is the place for site related issues.... not Perl problems.

this topic is in no way "site related".

p.s. please don't provide URL's for us to visit without making them hyperlinks. i might have read your article if it had been linked (even though discussing it here is still off-topic), but there's no way i will do so as it stands. you presume too much of our willingness to labor selflessly to your ends.

(i figure if i'm going to get voted down for being a bitch in my explanation, i may as well explain all my grievances at once.)
