But your contributions are mighty valuable to the rest of us ... and we make money in part through Perl.   (That means, thank you!)

Plus, consider what is the very-routine experience here:   you hit a roadblock, and by now you know to stop and to Seek Perl Wisdom, and ... bang!! ... often within fifteen minutes you are looking at a thread of very detailed replies, maybe several chunks of extemporaneously-written code.   You are back on track, and you learned a lot.   “Hit counts” do not mean anything.   What matters is the effectiveness of the encounter, and around here, the effectiveness is consistently gigantic.
