(OT) Re^4: Snarky comments on the ddj perl quiz

Thank you for the response, but it looks like DDJ Test for Perl was created about five hours earlier than this thread:

Aug 22, 2007 at 19:26 CDT    Snarky comments on the ddj perl quiz

But both were 5 days before your comment: Aug 27, 2007 at 23:14 UTC

I would guess that the Snark thread was a response to the other discussion, deliberately seperating the snark from the serious discussion, but I did not start this thread, so I can't say for sure.

I did not know of the other thread when I started this one. However, I became aware of the quiz as a result of a chatterbox comment that may have resulted from the other thread. Just in case anybody cares.

I admit to being a little puzzled by the "already" so long after the fact, but thought the link to the other thread was a good thing.

I could swear that I saw the other thread on Monday and later in the day this one appeared. Other than Seekers of Perl Wisdom I usually rely on just The Monastery Gates so a thread may be a few days old but will appear to be "new" to me if it was recently frontpaged. So it's either a question of when they were frontpaged or if I saw the other one while somehow missing this one. Sorry for any confusion!

Update: And sorry about sort of hijacking your thread.
