Indeed you did talk to me and gave me a perspective that I don't think anyone else could have. In turn when I talked about the reaction from experienced monks, you certainly did more than just cross my mind.

As I said privately to you, I am impressed by what this site aims for and what it has accomplished. There certainly are prominent members of the Perl community that I simply could not see successfully fitting in here. Unlike you, I do not have a sense of the history of this place. But like you I don't know how it should be run. So far on the whole it seems to have done a pretty good job. That is just a first impression though. :-)

I certainly would rather that people looking for good examples showed up here instead of at Matt's Script Archives... (VBG)
