My initial reaction was that this response does contain accurate and
sound advice. But the fact that it came from an AM, and the fact that
it ultimately offered no direct practical positive suggestions really
stepped out of the spirit of PM for me.
I must say, these statements have me boggled. You make three primary claims
about the preceding post:
- it contains accurate and sound advice
- it was posted anonymously
- it offered no practical positive suggestions
Not only do I find it difficult to reconcile points 1 and 3 --- accurate sound
advice has always seemed of practical and positive value to me --- but that
the anonymity of the post plays a decisive role in your finding it to be
outside the spirit of PM is, in my mind, shamefully disappointing.

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).
