Dear felllow

Your post made me make deep conscience examination. I examined my latest 20 nodes, and I found just two that I would like to your judgement.

The first one is Etiquette, maybe OT (was: Re: PERL and HTML), in reply to peacemaker1820's Populating HTML form fields from database (was: PERL and HTML).

That node's text showed up very well in the list of SoPW, due to its formatting. And, as I said in my reply, I think that this community would be a better place if people will focus on the question title, rather than on where to put some bold and italics here and there (BTW, the node was considered and retitled).

I'm a monk since a fortnight, but it didn't take me a lot to understand how to format code snippets, how to quote someone else's text and so on. Education should live on both sides, the asker's and the monks'. My reply, and my -- to the question, were an attempt to make peacemaker1820 and other askers aware of the existance of an etiquette in the monastery. Am I guilty for that?

The second node was Re: Search And Replace, in reply to 178455. Ok, we are here to help, but... really you know how to do /$user/ and you don't know that you need to add an i? Seriously, brother, did him even try to read the docs?

I'd like to make it clear that I don't mind to reply to questions I find obvious, like how do I get a sorted array out of this hash?. But, again, it's a matter of education: don't waste our time and we'll don't waste yours.

My two cents of Euro

Ciao!
