Abigail,
PM does load kind of slow, especially compared to when it was on the old host. However, the interface style and the active populate of Perl junkies here make things a little better than most Usenet groups and other discussion forums.
Your posts have helped me out of a coding jam or two. No matter what you think of the community, or the fact that some people here, like anywhere, put on airs, I'm certainly glad I found your posts here.
I like it here. I think PM is one of the few web forums that doesn't fall into this category.
