I envy tilly and Ovid their excellent writing style.

What?? Is that bad? I thought everybody did that. =]

Here's my list (which is probably too short, really):

• I have turned away from some SoPW nodes when the OP looked really clueless, just for that reason.
• I don't ever put "use warnings" in my scripts (I just do "perl -cw script.pl" once after every edit).
• When a CPAN module doesn't install because of test failures, I either "force install" it or give up and try to get along without the module, rather than tracking down the test failure and reporting it when necessary.
• Sometimes I check the Saints in our Book list just to see if my ranking has changed.

Do I feel better now? I'm not sure...
