in reply to 1K Posting

demerphq, what you wrote highlights the essence of this site for me. I am a relatively new monk, but already I have gotten into the habit many of us have, of helping others out because I remember being a newbie and not quite getting the difference between $$foo{'bar'} and $foo->{'bar'}; of being intimidated by map, and of not really having any reason to create a Mozilla bookmark of "http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=%s".

You thank the rest of the monks for helping you out, for being great sharers of wisdom... but I would like to thank you back. You are one of the handful (Okay, double-armful) of monks whose names I recognize from post after (helpful|interesting|thought-provoking) post, and I want you to know that, at least in this monk's opinion, you have given back more than your share to the community.

Thank you right back.

    Thank you very much for the complement Lai.

    In a place like this we all are standing on the shoulders of giants. Even the gods learned from someone else at one point or another...

    And wisdom isnt always knowing the answer to something. Sometimes its the question that shows wisdom and not the answer. ("Mommy why is that man not wearing any clothes?" ;-)

    Many people have asked interesting questions that I have replied to, trying to help them, and learn for myself at the same time. So while I may have helped by answering, they have unknowningly helped by asking. I think thats the secret of this place. :-)
