This isn't a perl help desk. I don't follow any rules save those which I deem good to follow - and if others happen to follow the same rules, we make a lot.

This is not a perl help desk! we are not required to process tickets, nor fake action in order to "have reacted" in order to suggest our customers to believe that being dealt with is being served.

This site isn't about education. All here educate themselves in their own fashion for their lives to comprehend (or such). So no lifting finger at "dinn' use strict" either.

"If you'd use strict ..." is really only for those cases where such usage would have given a hint and/or the solution to the question at hand, and prevented that post.

I don't think what you propose would be "too harsh" to those to be given - but rather to those giving the advice. I can work out by myself where to post "use-strict-missing", thank you.

use strict isn't a door-opener for help, and its lack no door-closer, either.
