in reply to Number of Perl Monks I have met in Real Life

Does anyone else find it amusing that only 6 people say they have met 12 or more perlmonks in real life? I mean, even if they all overlapped, where are the other six perlmonks?? Are they some hidden cult of non-polling perlmonks? Are they too busy plotting the overthrow of vroom? Or are they all The Evil One in disguise?

    You assume that promiscuity(*) is a commutative relation.

    It is not.

    One person who has been promiscuous in meeting monks may count as met many who have had few encounters.

    * Definition 2 of course. What did you think I meant?

      You obviously haven't read my Geek Code. I think I may need a Definition 3.

    I've disabled the Poll node on my page, and there's no other way to submit a poll (only look at the nodes), so all I can do is look at the results. And I imagine I've met 12 or more Perlmonks, but haven't (been able to) vote(d) yet.

    So, there's the next Monestary request... give me a URL that lets me vote!

      You can always disable the voting booth in your "Non-Frontpage Nodelets" and enable it on your "Frontpage Nodelets" through your user settings. If you are like me, you rarely visit the frontpage anyways (except to vote :)
