I could not agree more GrandFather. Anonymonk most definitely does not get a "welcome newbie", let's take it easy attitude. I'm not suggesting that they recieve the equivalent of the Spanish inquisition either (I mean really, no one expects the inquisition!), as this would discourage anyone wishing to test the perlmonks waters before creating an account. Were it a real person posting, I am sure the moks involved would have had their fun, but followed up with sincere suggestions as virtualsue did.
