Maybe newbies won't post their Perl-related questions there so frequently .

How frequent is "so frequently"? Can it be mesured in percent, or better in promille? Experienced Monks have access to the Approval Nodelet and can move an unapproved node into another section. How many nodes have been moved from Perl Monks Discussion only after approval and after "consideration"?

I second Anonymous Monk post, although that shouldn't be a button - it would be against PerlMonks hair - but rather a new link in the navbar: "Post a new perl question" or such with a link to a node which just displays the Add your question section and form of Seekers of Perl Wisdom.
