>> Very often, people post answers that are wrong
Perhaps you should go to www.everyonehereisperfect.com. In the real world, people make mistakes. Learning is not a process of always getting the right answer, it is a process of gathering information about a subject from right answers, semi-right answers, semi-wrong answers, wrong-answers and everything in between. Sometimes a wrong answer makes an assumption about the problem and just seeing that assumption sheds light on the problem so the wrong answer ends up being helpful. If you can't learn from mistakes (your own and others'), you can't really learn.

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).
