The truth is nobody cares what your PerlMonks password is. There isn't any sensitive information in this site that should be guarded like gold and diamonds. If you're afraid that someone is going to steal your rank or take over your account and pretend to be you, enjoying your Pope status or whatever, then you take this whole thing too seriously.
If you use the same password to your bank that you use here on PerlMonks, then that's your problem. You shouldn't do that. That's a big no no. That should be taught in Computer Class 101. Seriously. If you use the same password to any site, that's like leaving your car keys in the car while you go into a grocery store for shopping. Don't be surprised if someone steals your car. You're making it too easy for the robbers. The store isn't going to be held accountable if someone steals your car from the parking lot. Same here. If someone breaks into your bank account or email or Facebook, because you use the same password, that's your problem. The PerlMonks website is used by students and professionals and hobbyist programmers like me. If anyone is a programmer or pretends to be one and doesn't know that he shouldn't use the same password for two websites, then that person shouldn't be a programmer yet. We need to take his programming license away. LOL

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).
