Sorry. Yes, you are 100% correct, the "Can I have a PAUSE ID" and "There is a problem with my PAUSE ID, please help" issues are handled right away, and you guys do an awesome job at that. And from skimming over the last 6 months or so of the list archives it seems that you in particular do quite a bit of responding to module registration requests and issues, so again, I apologize for imply that there is no one doing that, because clearly I am wrong. My choice of words was poor, and I apologize for that.

What I really meant is that modules@perl.org (despite what the name implies) is not a good forum for discussing module ideas and module naming help requests because it is pretty much only monitored by a small group of people and is not a "community hangout" (on the flip side, the archives have very few bike-shed-color suggestions, so maybe this is a good thing (hmm my foot is tasting better and better each time I put it in my mouth)).

But yeah, your point is correct, I could have made my point without saying that (or the clarified version too actually).

So, what didn't we do for you that you think we should have done? What grudge do you have? Are you still mad about a two week delay in response for Tree::Simple from 2004? That was four years ago. Since then you've written to modules rarely and in in case received a prompt reply.

Wow, good memory, even I forgot that. It was not a grudge thing at all, I am simply trying to point out that registration was at one time very useful for CPAN, but now with search.cpan.org being the primary gateway, seems to be less so.
