I find it interesting that the rash of thank-you nodes that were considered were each voted for deletion by about a 3:1 majority, and yet nobody replying here seems to think they should be deleted. Just for the record, I didn't bother considering them but I did vote to delete them, AND I /msged the original author and (as pleasantly as I could) suggested that a thank you /msg would be more appropriate.

Up until now I've been taking the view that the Monastery is almost growing a fantastic Perl help database, and clearly useless nodes are not appropriate (even though the trend is to consider disk space and CPU cycles as boundless).

This seems to jive with the concept of "vote the node" to me, but I'm certainly willing to consider the possibility that I've been wrong.
