I don't know who posted it. But the content stands on its own. And what he said about the pitfalls was true even if his estimate of the danger was overblown.

Yes, this is a place for beginners as well as competent hackers. And I agree that examples are better. But they aren't always necessary and not providing one isn't really cause for a berating, particularly on fundamental points. And if a beginner doesn't understand and would like an example, he could always ask for one, right? I assume you didn't actually need one and I question your attempt to test the AM.

Not that any of this is as important as we are making it. You have a stated dislike for anonymous posting; I have a stated dislike for gratuitous pedantry. I think this thread brought up each of our pet peeves.

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.
