Here is a summary of the reasons why I often downvote your posts:
- Your replies are typically vague, inaccurate, rambling opinion and never provide working code or useful links (2021 Update).
- You display a patronizing air of superiority, accompanied by condescending platitudes, cliches, truisms and banalities (2021 Update).
- You make ignorant humble-bragging assertions pretending to be a question (2021 Update).
- Your answers are often irrelevant to the OP's question, just a vain attempt to appear knowledgeable (2021 Update).
- Eight times out of ten you post nothing but opinion; of those eight, some are objectively, spectacularly wrong (2021 Update).
- You repeatedly implore others to give back to the community, though you've given us only eye-ache (2021 Update).
- You repeatedly ask for more information ... yet never act on that information when provided (2021 Update).
- You ignore posts that ask for evidence of your dubious claims ... instead simply re-posting the same dubious claims (2021 Update).
- You are the laziest monk who has ever had long term participation here, your stature further enhanced by "out of date, half-baked skills, absolute lack of Perl chops, and braggadocio" (2021 update). (See also two lazy replies to Minion as a job scheduler?).

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.
