Thank you for your educational post. I will keep this in mind for the future (I did try googling it to find more about the phrase before I used it, but did not come upon anything similar to your link). That said, just because I use "to be, or not to be" in a post that has no angst to it, or that is not suicidal, doesn't mean that those words aren't appropriate. Newton may have meant them sarcastically, with arrogance. I meant them more literally (hey, it's a great term, even if it can have many meanings). Of course, for the more arrogant among us (say, ... ME!), we may mean them more the way Newton did: building upon the work of others, we're geniuses. ;->

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.
