In regards a 'C++ Monks' - I have posted a little over at 'Stack Overflow', but that was NOT a pleasant experience. It could not be more different to PerlMonks in attitude and mood. The place is CRIMINALLY hostile, you ask a question and immediately get your query marked down with negative points and cutting sarcasm for the most trivial reasons. Even using the wrong formatting is enough to get your query locked and receive negative points. It seems if you don't already have a 20000+ reputation then don't bother asking as you will be ignored - and only then if you are lucky.
I do not like Stack Overflow at all. Its sister boards are a little more friendly, particularly the server administration and MS Exchange ones

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
