This tactic of switching to Anonymous Monk just to fire off some heated
Nobody switched, I *am* an anonymous monk.
I honestly don't understand why the removal and reinsertion of less
than a half-dozen lines of text is causing so much fuss. The end
result contains everything the original did, and more.
Changing history is never a good idea. I read a thread, see something
I wish to discuss (correct, disagree with, concur with, whatever), and
by the time I've composed my response and refreshed the page, an
entire chunk of your dialogue is no longer there, and my response no
longer makes any sense. But I still have some thing to say, so I
recompose, and you re-edit, and again I'm left talking to a ghost.
I may be anonymous, but I have better things to do with my time than
to chase your changing words. So I ask you, will you stand behind
your words or should I (and anyone else who values their time)
simply ignore your ephermal scratchings on this site?

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).
