in reply to Zen and the art of ignoring XP
I take great pride in my Perl Monks ranking, and reference it often. Sure, I'm only a bishop (rank 8), and I know I will still be inferior to most of the saints here even after reaching saint, but each rank represents a significant amount of reading, voting, and posting, and is therefore an excellent measurement of commitment to Perl as a language and to programming in general. A saint has paid his dues, and proven himself at least capable, if not necessarily brilliant.
