Yes, I feel sad. It almost feels selfish to lament the loss of future posts, I guess the sad part is that the Monastery lost appeal to him. Hopefully momentarily, it's hard to break a habit that long formed. There was always a feeling of righteousness for not sacrificing technical excellence at the altar of political correctness. In my first question to Perlmonks, everyone was answering wrong except BrowserUK and I became hooked. Took a long time and my own maturation and reflection and bad mistakes on my part to see all the other more temperate emulation worthy talent that exists here. You call it 'Bringing about the best in others' I think Your Mother has called it "Grace" and Corion flatly says stop cussing and keep the site family friendly. Skill and temperance can exist together, but if you HAD to pick one quality over the other (and you don't), I would pick skill! Bye BrowserUK + Good Luck!!

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).
