I made a conscious choice when my children were very small to attend diligently to their (often inane) questions, because I wanted to firmly establish in their minds that Dad Listens. That was in the hope that when they had questions at 12 or 16 or 18 (the age of my youngest), important questions that might have serious consequences, they would ask me instead of their friends. That has worked out very well. Note that was Dad Listens, not necessarily Dad Has the Answer. I did, back when they were 3. Not as often anymore! But I still listen.

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).
