I agree that there are already a lot of sections here, and
I often don't know where to post my questions... (Yes, I sometimes
post elsewhere than in Obfuscated Code.)
Clearly the Obfuscation section is not the place where most
posts go. Anyway, I really feel that JAPH and Obfuscation
are two different matters. I like to be surprised by the
code I read in this section, and all too often alas, I know
what a particular piece of code will print (and how) without
reading it all (no I didn't read this one completely,
but I am shocked by the good reputation it gets)...
But you are probably right when you say I should ignore posts
that I find "not good enough". It's just that these JAPH are not what I (and
I hope others) think obfuscation is... At first I tried --
to indicate my reprobation, then I tried critique (or worse).
Now, I feel that JAPH have their own use, which is good, but is
not the same as obfuscation (which would be something closer
to artistic).

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).
