Worth more than one `++`! Real nice answer I wandered off in the direction of Ireland, where in many places internet is hard to find. I must say the country made me to hardly miss it. Is that a sin? Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l]

No such thing; we use Monks inclusively. You could say 'meditated' about other Monks of the gender, lack thereof, or genders you find worth said 'meditation'. -- Online Fortune Cookie Search Office Space merchandise	[reply]

Exactly. Their lack of existence makes them so unattainable that Monks (of the gentlemanly persuasion) are driven wild, with no choice but to seek solace in solitary contemplation. Just a something something...	[reply]

Perhaps it would help if there was an authoritative definition of "proper monk behaviour"? "There aren't evil guys and innocent guys. It's just... It's just... It's just a bunch of guys." - Steve Arlo, Zero Effect Perhaps there is a test that can be applied to any action that will determine how "proper" it is? Ask the questions - "Am I doing something that is helpful to another person trying to use perl? Did I at least intend to help?" But then there is the matter of jokes. I think jokes and pop-culture references are inherently monk-like behavior & I would call them proper. Lulz on the other hand can take on that Andy Kaufman quality** - where they might only be funny to the perpetrator. That borders on behavior more befitting of a Troll. We would like to think that Monks and Trolls are mutually exclusive camps. I repeat, we would like to think that... But then again comments like that are like chumming for flames, so my last transgression was apparently this sentence. ** - mind you I truly love Andy's work. Sadly however it could be argued that since the mainstream audience wasn't "in on the joke" much of the time, he had a hard time of it, especially at the end. Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!	[reply]
