Best Nodes candidates

[dbwiz]

After the positive popular response to two recent nodes, I would like to go on with a little "provocation".

Browsing around in the places where I thougth some good ones were (and with a little help from some friends), I came out with my very personal list of good nodes on their way towards the Best Nodes.

This list is most likely to be incomplete, but maybe somebody would like to contribute their own findings.

Author	title	rep
ferrency	"Don't try this at home" (*)	246
footpad	On Responsible Considerations(*)	245
btrott	RE: RE: Things are not what they seem like.	238
Ovid	Paradigm Shift - Don't use strict	234
chromatic	How You (Yes You!) Can Get Involved	228
Erudil	There can be only one!	227
Ovid	'our' is not 'my'	226
Masem	How to RTFM	226
boo_radley	SPAM eater	220
Juerd	Perl cheat sheet	219
Abigail-II	My coding guidelines	216
tilly	The path to mastery	214
Petruchio	Oh my God! Tie killed Perl!	214
btrott	Tricks with DBI	213
gmax	The fine art of database programming	213
jcwren	Stats Whoring - The VXML Way	210
dws	Do my homework for me!	207
gmax	DBI recipes	202
demerphq	Advanced Sorting - GRT - Guttman Rosler Transform	200

As always, comments will be appreciated.

(*) update Feb 04, 2004 at 09:28 UTC
After my post, ferrency's node replaced footpad's in Best Nodes. Their rep was respectively 241 and 244.
Almost all nodes in this list were upvoted (46 votes in less than 11 hours). Just to confirm that, in addition to their merit, it's this kind of "exposure" that creates the hall of fame list.

Update Feb 24,2004 something has happened!

This is a really good idea. I have overlooked most of these nodes. As a matter of fact, I just considered "My coding guidelines" for promotion as a tutorial. There are probably others that should be easier to find.

I'm not sure whether to be grateful or upset. My perfectly good evening plans are shot as I am compelled to consume some of the, previously unknown to me, great info available at PM :)

I am not going to keep this list updated, though. My purpose in posting this it was to try convincing the gods to extend Best Nodes. Here are the facts. There are many excellent nodes waiting to be appreciated, and people in the Monastery seem to like having these lists available.

Instead of asking the gods to change things, I think it would be a great idea if you put this list on your home node. Maybe others would follow your example and soon we would have a large "personal" collection to browse through.
