Hello Fellow Monks,

Today I am a monk.

I am very proud to be a part of this most excellent communitiy, though I am less proud of the two posts that are most responsible for my attaining this level. The most recent, this node, answering by regurgitating what I had just read a week earlier about job searching, is currently my highest rated node. Why is it the highest? Beats me, other than I happened to be fast on the draw on that one. The other highly rank node I have is this one, a half funny comment about a golf challenge by princepawn. Again, this one is probably highly rated for the main reason that it was mentioned in the ChatterBox.

As a monk, I am quite amazed by the level of things that I still don't know, which I suppose is an argument against what thatguy asked when talking about using his PerlMonk level as qualification of his Perl skills. (I realize that is not exactly what he was asking, but that is a decent paraphrase). I read nodes everyday where, not only did I not know the answer to the question, but I am also baffled by the answer.

So even though today I am a Monk, I am still only an Egg

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of this community,
Scott
