That's a bit like a game of Telephone, eyepops. If you follow the link you provided you'll see that I offered "compulsively helpful" as an option to a poll ("My primary motivation for participating at Perl Monks is", and cited davido as the originator of that term ... and that I linked to his OP wherein he described a class of Perlmonks user, presumably but not necessarily including himself, with that term. Just for the record :-)
And also for the record, I didn't go on an upvote binge, much as I am indeed a fan :-)
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
