I'm new to PM within the last month. I come around every day and browse the nodes and read the things that I find useful and interesting. I've actually picked up alot of good information that I've been able to take away and use either in actually coding, or just as food for thought. (And I enjoy thinking.)I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I got experience points for this. I don't view the points as being simply for the visit, but for the things I learn both about perl and about the MonAstery. Do I care if other people jump in and out and get points and don't learn anything while here? Nope. That's their loss. As I get more experience, I'll probably post more because I'll have more worthwhile stuff to contribute. In the meantime, it's encouraging to be making some progress every time I'm here.
