Amen to that! I work hard, I push products out the door and generally do a good job, but I've had too many people think that my XP makes me some sort of Perl God. I tell 'em I'm not and they just respond that I'm being modest. I can't win. I like being here, helping people out and learning (I've had more than a few misperceptions corrected), but I do wish people would remember that my XP is a largely a reflection of people liking my writing style and not my Perl ability, per se.

Cheers,
