Sorry for the ongoing "meta" frenzy, but there's a funny little question that I have had in mind for quite some time: as a person with a marked tendency towards prolixity when writing prose (as opposed to poetry and, naturally, Perl) and a certain envy of those with the gift of conciseness, I wonder which are the nodes that scored the highest reputation per size. Ok, "size" itself should be defined more clearly and I can think of at least two ways to measure it... and yes: I am aware that by all means this kind of info is probably not tracked. But as I wrote it would be fun to know. Wouldn't it?

FWIW I remember in my early days here a SoPW in which someone asked how do a match globally, listing IIRC all the modifiers tried that far... from the set of which /g was missing. I seem to rememeber having been tempted to just answer:

/g

But in the end I think I wrote it in a more verbose manner, out the fear I perceived that wit is not well received at the Monastery, or better: that the general consensus on wit does not coincide with my own... All this is very vague in my memory, however, and I may have got it wrong...
