Oh i wasn't taking offense at all. And while it is moderately flattering I must admit I inherited M::L from its author so I cant take too much credit for it.

But i will say that i think not informing the authors they are on the list is a mistake. What better way to get word-of-mouth advertising of the site. I mean if the authors don't know about it what reason should anyone else?

Anyway, it would seem good policy not to allow authors to "take on" their own stuff, but if I see any serialization module in the list then ill have a go at punishing them (someday.) (Oooh, YAML is in the list. :-)
