I agree entirely. Perhaps a server like perlmonk.org, running the Everything engine would suffice. Just so discussion between familiars can take place without disturbing the Monastery.

Even more wide-spread: Why not just put XML or an HTML comment in another message board's user profile or actual thread to signify that the poster is a Perl Monk. A Perl Monk Passport, so to speak.
