Hear! Hear! This Saint is totally correct! If there were a ranking higher than Saint, he'd certainly earn it. It appears that Revelation does not want to be criticized. After all, he was (at the time) just a high school freshman, relatively new to Perl, so one cannot judge him too harshly. But why would he post something so "elitist" if he's not an elite? Not to sound trollish, but Revelation's elitist views seem only to reflect his ignorance and fear that he will be downvoted. I never posted anything on any math or physics forum (subjects which I know somewhat better than programming) because I'm not a professional mathematician or physicist (yet.) I'm certainly not an ignoramus, and neither is Revelation, but I know better than to post a node implying that I'm just a student. Revelation had better heed the advice of his superiors. I'm sure he doesn't want to be known as the Worst Nodes (or Codes) Upvoter any longer than he has to! -100104
