Sorry princepawn, I've downvoted this post. I was a little embarassed about it, because it could be an inspiring node, leading to interesting discussions about the nature of the Monastery and its position in YAS. But your point is so far from mine, that I have --ed it.

I've never had the feeling that Perlmonks is vroom's realm, dictatorship, or something like this. I see it as a very good community, where users has the possibility "to polish, improve, and showcase their Perl skills". vroom controls the site in the sense he admins it: making [Ee]verything working fine, applying patches written by pmdevs and so on. As far as I know, he's not paid for it. If he could be paid for his services to the Perl community, I'm only glad.
