I remember reading something that resembles to this elsewhere

Anyway.. I totally agree with you, but I think that bladx's point is that newbies come here often to ask questions and aren't usually interested in signing up... so they ask a quick question... this problem was solved (somehow) when Vroom added the line : "If you're new here please read Perl Monks Site FAQ" to the top of the SOPW page when you are not logged in... and many other similar notes.

so I think that the prob is solved bladx.. you cannot expect to have someone here to guide the new comers more than that... and luckily, there is someone here to take care of the mess that happens.
