To those wondering why this would possibly be considered "inapproprate", it was originaly posted in Seekers of Perl Wisdom, rather then the correct category Meditations (or possibly Perl Monks Discussion -- Meditations implies more thought and philosiphy, PMD implies that it's about the Monastery -- both are true here.)

Oh, and another terminology issue -- Saint is a specifc term here -- it refers to those who have reached level 10, the highest level, in the Voting/Experience System. Though you probably have been helped by a Saint or two, it's almost certian that most of the people who helped you aren't quite there yet (though, seeing as they helped you, are probably upwordly mobile). Anyway, XP (Experience Points) is just a game we like to play. The proper generic term is "Monk" (the term is gender-neutral in use here, and though it also, technicly, refers to level 5, it's also used to refer to all who grace our halls, even the Anonymous Monk, those who have not found, or refused, the pile of markers and My Name Is... stickers.

Anyway, terminology is a minor matter, so long as everybody knows what you meant. I just wanted to add the first paragraph, so the record is clear.
