For me, it's a little of all of the above -- the voting, the XP gain, the JAPHs and other obfuscations. The main reason I keep coming back is that there's always some aspect of perl that I've been pondering... and there's a good chance that that aspect was not only covered here, but has been looked at from most every angle. It's in the extreme amount of knowledge present with the click of my mouse. I also keep returning in the hopes that I can contribute to the knowledge. There's also the "Gee, I didn't know that!" type of nodes that I come across... This place has replaced my "News for Nerds" fix that I used to have. It's that good.
