I just ++ed you for answering a question well. I find it annoying that such questions are immediately barked at. I just yesterday read a bunch of nodes on the issue of moderation/consideration. The consensus is that we are to allow some offtopic content esp if it can clearly have some relevance to the ordinary monk's life with Perl. And I believe this is relevant to anyone who might try placing scripts online; which is a large amount of the monks.

I tried looking around, but couldn't find the nodes in question anymore. I believe we really need to have everyone who has consideration powers read up a bit on how to use them; too much is considered and too often is it reaped, in my opinion.

There's a difference between offtopic as in discussing the latest Britney Spears and offtopic as in discussing server maintenance business.

Makeshifts last the longest.
