in thread Help for the homework problem?

I dunno I am new here, I am not sure if it would or not. I am sure tho that registering is not a big bother. If I had a -real- question then the time taken to register would not prevent me from asking.
Also it is likely to encourage people to particiate in dialogue long term, rather than asking for help and leaving. Growing in the monastery this is where next years saints will come.

    I too would register, but then we are of a similar attitude. I have to wonder whether or not the "Monestary Gates" and "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" type approach that is being used here rather conveys a more charitable message; a more open forum. Maybe that's what people find attractive.

    It's true to say that you can only be saint if you join, and I think that the people who have registered and joined represent a certain type of developer. If we were to force people to register, then they would not have made the "choice" to join. In order to make the choice to join and help others, you have to have the opportunity to make the choice, take that away and we may lose something special.

    Ponder ponder ...
