In regards a 'C++ Monks' - I have posted a little over at 'Stack Overflow', but that was NOT a pleasant experience. It could not be more different to PerlMonks in attitude and mood. The place is CRIMINALLY hostile, you ask a question and immediately get your query marked down with negative points and cutting sarcasm for the most trivial reasons. Even using the wrong formatting is enough to get your query locked and receive negative points. It seems if you don't already have a 20000+ reputation then don't bother asking as you will be ignored - and only then if you are lucky.

I do not like Stack Overflow at all. Its sister boards are a little more friendly, particularly the server administration and MS Exchange ones
