It seems like my cookie was lost...it was MY posting, not from some anonymous monk...if you want to vote it down...vote ME down...

I'm confused... I thought our voting was supposed to be based
on the post made, not on the person doing the posting?
As such, if I felt that your post was deserving of a --, yet you
posted it (accidentally) as an anonymous monk, then the post,
not you, deserves the --. Sure, you escape the "punishment"
for posting a bad post, but you also escape the "reward" for
posting a good post.
Or did you want up to vote you up if we were going to vote ++
as well?

Don't be confused my son...voting also has its effects on a persons' ranking as far as I know...so if you thought it was a really bad thought of mine, it's better to punish me ;-)

I think folks get annoyed when someone asks a question that could have been answered by the most cursory investigation of perl docs, perl monks, or CPAN: "Hey, is there anything in perl to help me write HTML pages?"
sort of questions.
As to the issue of wanting to avoid canned modules to learn the nitty gritty, the poster just needs to make it clear that s/he has already done the basic homework: "I want to redirect a page, but I don't want to use the CGI.pm shortcuts... can someone explain how?" sort of thing. Putting a hyperlink in the text (1) shows you've done some homework, and (2) makes it visually stand out and be noticed, so the whole crowd doesn't shout back "RFM!". | [reply] |
