Perhaps you misunderstood my point... When I came across your node it was on the Worst Nodes of The Day list (at -4), even though it contained a valid question. I was just giving you a friendly nudge to let you know *why* people were downvoting your node.

At the very least, you should have explained why someone kind enough to answer your question should also shoulder the burden of replying in a non-standard way. "Also send me an email because I check my email more often than I check perlmonks" isn't as bad as "Also send me email because I'm a taker and never plan on coming back." You would have done well to distinguish between them.

Last time I posted this quote I noted my feelings on ESR (which are somewhat short of godly) but it isn't really relevant what I think of the author....
