I'm sure that some of you have noticed the "Vote for paco" line in my sig. I just checked and, as of this writing, paco's lone node has a rep of 82. I thought it was an amusing little post and I certainly encouraged voting for him through my sig, but I'm wondering if I should put a stop to this. Any thoughts? If I keep this going long enough, paco could potentially hit the Best Nodes list. Just thought I would take a poll of monks and I'll take that line out of my sig if enough object to it.

Incidentally, when I first made that post, there was some discussion in the CB (not initiated by myself) regarding making paco the 'unofficial' mascot of Perlmonks. I took that to mean that some people appreciated the tongue-in-cheek attitude behind the post, though I'm sure that others don't.

Note: No, I'm not advocating making paco any sort of mascot or anything like that. Just wanting to poll fellow monks about whether I should remove that line from my sig.

Cheers,
Ovid

Vote for paco!

• 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.
