in thread A PerlMonks mentoring list

I can't speak for anyone else, but I visit perlmonks when I want to, and answer any questions that I feel like I can contribute to. People who ask me questions directly tend to be ignored, if they want answers they should post questions.

We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

    Yes, exactly my position as well. While I get about 5 to 10 Perl questions a day directly to my email box, if it's something that will take me more than a few minutes to research or answer, I tend to point them at public forums like this one.

    A public answer benefits everyone. A private answer benefits only a few.
