Macphisto: well, if it makes you feel better, I just voted this last node down because of the profanity. I appreciate that you are here and are willing to participate in the community and to be honest, I don't have any problem with profanity. My concern is that Perlmonks doesn't turn into another /. Therefore, any post with profanity, insults, or comments in a similar vein I tend to vote down on the theory that this might discourage this tendency. Other than that, it's nothing personal.
Update: This node just got voted down. I wonder who would have done that. Hmm...
Update #2: Macphisto swears that it wasn't him and for what it's worth, I believe him. We must have some scoundrel lurking in the shadows. Come out, you vile beast, and show your loathesome face!
Reminder to self: cut back on the caffeine.</font.

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).
