( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

While the XP system is flaky and allows few conclusions on a case-by-case basis, it does allow factual statements about trends.

If the trend you observe is that your nodes are getting downvoted, it means a large variety of people disagree with your way of going about things. (In personal grudges, the number of votes rarely suffices to constitute a trend.) You might want to at least take a moment to consider this.

I have downvoted several of your nodes for reasons much like those for which I downvoted this one: there are (at least sometimes) well thought out reasons for things you don't want to accept, but too often you just dash off without taking even a moment to research prior art or discussion and consider its merits. Had you taken the time to Super Search and read, you would have noticed that all of the points you bring up in this node have been brought up a nauseating amount of times and been answered in tiring depth just as often.

The fact that you took the time to start a PM Discussion and complain about people's voting habits at length doesn't particularly support your claim that XP could as well be removed as far as you're concerned, either.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
