I'd like to rephrase my last reply without taking anything away from it...

This is a place where many significant Perl coders hang out. I assume many of them review and post on this site while at work (regardless of what their day job is), and also while at home. I'm but a humble intermediary coder (depending on the context), but I sometimes let my emotions wreak havoc.

It bothers me when I see poorly presented questions, as I'm learning how much it frustrates other monks who have better things to do. I used to get upset with terse responses. Now I'm starting to understand.

To the OP: You might not have read How do I post a question effectively?, but it isn't fair to assume that this is just some one-off PHP forum you're in either.
