...one complaint I do have about PerlMonks is often people take this forum waaaaaaaaay too seriously, and that can make one feel he has to reread his post 5 times over so he won't make a mistake, or wonder if Monk12345 will take him to task for thinking differently. I see a lot of people feeling like they have to strike through their posts and apologize a lot.

Maybe that has something to do with wanting to be technically accurate. I can only speak for myself, but when I make a mistake, which someone else points out to me, I'd like to correct my post so that it's accurate.

I take this forum seriously because I've learned a lot from it and think it's a valuable Perl resource. Most of the stuff is pretty high-quality, and the PM community regulates itself very nicely. The desire to produce something high-quality, which a lot of the people here have, deserves to be treated seriously. Maybe some people take it to extremes, but for me, that's not a reason to leave and it adds to the quality of the information offered here.

Ok, maybe I took you comment a bit too seriously ;-)
