I caught myself staring at the screen, looking at my own homenode id.
"Wow, 1350.. I'm getting old in here", suddenly I found that I was thinking of node numbers in the same way that you might look at distant cousin that you haven't seen since you were a kid. Appreciation of how one came to be, growing up. Nostalgic. I doubt that Perl Monks has hit its full-mature-self yet, but it sure has come a long way...
Do you remember the days:
- When a good post was awarded 10 votes?
- When there was no #perlmonks (or trout)?
- When btrott and chromatic were scribes?
- When node ids had 4 digits?
- When there were no user monk pics in rotation?
- When the chatterbox was usually empty?
- When vroom actually had time enough to post answers?
- When neshura posted her 1st pic?
- When polls got less than 100 votes total?
- When there was no voting/expirience system?
- When you could remember all of the monks by their handles?
- When perlmonks was a habit and not an addiction?
(the above are not sorted in any particular chronological order, well, sorta)

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.
