This lost post was close to 10 years old. That's the only reason why I re-posted it.
Unlike cars, old PM nodes don't rust. All of Erudil's ten year old classic nodes remain in pristine condition today. There's no need to repost them.

More useful would have been to post a link, along with a commentary or analysis of how much you love it and why you think it's a classic. Some examples of folks doing that sort of thing that spring to mind are:

I suspect there are better examples of this sort of thing, but can't find any right now. If anyone knows of some nodes that highlight or give a commentary on one or more old and classic PM nodes, please let us know (this sort of thing is commonly done on Perl Monks home nodes).
