Ok, Aristotle you made a good point, so I went over to StackOverflow, and see if I could answer some questions. This was my experience.

1. I hated that OpenID bullsh*t. Perlmonks is 100% easier to sign in.

2. I want to look for some gui questions, pertaining to Perl/Tk or Perl/Gtk2. I got some tagged Tk, but they were a mixture of NET, Gtk#, ltk (whatever that is), no Perl.

So I saw one answer that was wrong in c Gtk+, and I wanted to make a comment about it. I couldn't comment without a 50 rating of some kind, I couldn't post an answer without OpenID...... it essentailly was a hassle to use.

Sorry..... but Perlmonks is so much easier to use, with it's limited scope of Perl, and it's anonymous monk, and simple cookie login.

Maybe they need better tag filtering and some janitors to check for spam postings, or something, and dump that stupid OpenID.

Also, I was tempted to answer questions from other languages, with a Perl script...... that would probably start language wars over there.
