I think it should definitely be with approval otherwise the bottom line is you are JAPS (Just Another B$%#*! Spammer). Help not harassment is the theme.

The problem with information is that we are all drowning in it. To use a very well worn old chesnut what I am aiming for is to provide a concise link to the "Best of the best".

I think we have all probably wished we knew then what we know now. I personally could have saved megabits of bandwidth and days of frustration if I had been aware of some of these links when I first came to Perl.

The feedback has been great with a fair bit of consensus emerging.

Thanks for your time.
