Sorry to see anyone leave, but that's the way life goes. A few years back, I was heavily involved in the Canopus forum on CompuServe, where one of the things we debated was the old OS/2 versus Windows 95 topic. We had a lot of fun with the topic, before and after Windows 95 came out. I just discovered recently that there is an archive of those messages, and boy, do I come off like a loudmouth in some of them. But it is undeniably me. (If anyone's interested, the messages are at this location -- look for "T. Alex Beamish" or "73067,1500".) This behaviour is not unlike cutting up old pictures of yourself when you were a pudgy baby or an awkward pre-teen .. maybe that was a difficult part of your life, but that was you, whether or not the pictures exist. Right now Perl is a large part of my career :) and Perl Monks is a terrific resource for Perl. So even though I've made a few goofs (my foray into XOR encryption is the best example), on average I'd say I've learned a lot, answered a few questions well, improved my craft, made a few friends, and perhaps even helped a few people. To me that's very cool, and it's not something I'd willingly leave. But to each, his or her own choice. Go in peace. --t. alexLife is short: get busy!
