Again, as I said, I always read the source before I install it. It's something I do. You don't have to.

Of course it's an exaggeration! I guess I didn't put enough smileys in my post. :)

Maybe I'll skim thru the source, just to admire the beauty-of-it-all ...or its ugly head. To decide to use it or not. To debug. To get insight. Of course there are modules I won't read before I install, like DBI, because they are canon. Or because they get installed by some other module as a dependency. I read the Changes files. And the Dependencies section. Depends of where I am at and whose perl interpreter that is.

I take issue with your statement. Because a lot of the people we have here are starting out or maybe never had peers to make suggestions and point out methods of learning and growth

Sorry. I forgot we had you, O Great Master, to lead us the way.

you should use this javascript plugin = is merely an option, and in my view for one- a retarded one

Gosh, I don't recall saying everyone must use this javascript snippet. And, please, no offending. Because a lot of people you have here may think all monks are offending like you are.

What are you afraid of? That I read your code? :)
