Hi jdporter

A fun post - but I don't think it's the truth. People love to help. Also/especially here at perlmonks. Maybe there are people ouside, who think that a fast response is much better than a good one (with regards to the XP-game) ... and maybe a bad answer provokes the knowlegdable monks to answer faster than they normally would (as you claim) ... but I believe in the good of our fellowship. Any monk will get a good answer without using your "tactics". And maybe the answers you would get would even be better, if you don't haste the others to correct mistakes ... that would be well worth the wait ...

All the best, Rata
