I tend to agree with you about XP. Sometimes it's useful and fun, but mostly it'd be nice if it just went away altogether. I find myself getting caught up in it occasionally, but talking and reading about Perl is what I'm really here for. I applaud your willingness to actually do something about it. You took an action which many would (and, based on the reaction, do) consider extreme. To me, as long as you keep posting questions and answers, we're no better or worse off than before. The irony is that you will probably end up getting upvotes for doing this. 8^)
