Wendy, you and Liz are very active and public members of the Perl community.

Liz published dozens of modules, you two are practically at every conference or workshop and co-sponsoring events.

BrowserUK OTOH is practically anonymous. Nobody here knows who he is, if he ever released modules, blogged or attended conferences.

He probably prefers to stay anonymous, because an notable percentage of his contributions here are emotional outbursts and personal attacks using foul language. But his "real life" reputation can't be damaged, unlike yours.

He is though somehow respected for the huge number remaining technical postings, especially in the field of tuning Perl for speed. Resulting in a high XP-rating. (his Dr Jekyll side if you want)

But most of the regulars stopped going into lengthy fights with Mr Hyde.

I'm telling you this because you weren't that active here in the past.

So better think twice who you are feeding instead of relaxing (and enjoying your whiskey. ;-)

Cheers Rolf
