OK. I hate to make YAFR (yet another feature request), but today I was reading Using # inside qw() and I thought to myself, "good question, has code, but the title could be better to help others find this when searching." I know I could make a request to the powers that be to change the title for that purpose, but it struck me that I'd rather be able to let the author know what I thought and why and see if s/he wanted to do that. Basically, I wished I could make a reply that was of an editorial nature. I could message the monk, or I could just make a normal reply. But it feels like I'd be cluttering an otherwise good pure perl strain with silly site related matters.
This node comes as a question. I want to know if anyone else finds themselves wanting to do this and also not doing it because it would just be noise in some senses. I want to also make it clear that this is NO slight on Chady - if anything I only had my thought because it was a good, well formed, on topic question that I think should be easily accessed through searches by other seeking wisdom. What do you think? Should there be a way to make replies that maybe only appear to the author? Should thre be two threads for every node? Am I just too bored today? =)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
