BillH:

Update: I've just been informed that linking by [id:######] is better than by title, so I made the appropriate adjustment...</Update>

I'm relatively new here, myself, having just joined about 6 weeks ago. And I have learned that votes are good. In fact, a few of us were just chatting about PerlMonk's experience point system in the thread A Cautionary tale for Newbies “Monks don’t bite”. (I haven't done a Super Search on it, but I suspect that there are just short of a few billion threads about the XP system. One day, when I get bored, I may look 'em up!)

I don't know how long I've been on Slashdot, but I've only done 5 posts in the last 5 years. Here, the voting/XP system makes interaction a lot more fun, and eminently worthwhile. With contributions like the PScheme stuff, you'll do quite well!

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
