I'm nobody here, but the discussion on this issue makes me want to add a couple of comments:
1.) Randal's party in Monterey ROCKED so I can't claim to be impartial.
2. ) Why don't all these upper level Monks create a link page of common responses to newbies so Randal (or anyone) could link "Running with scissors" comments to the appropriate detailed explanation.
(i.e Stas Beckmans mod_perl guide provides an execellent outlet for newbie mod_perl mailing list folk.)
It just seems to me that anything that is repetitive in nature should be automated, and that supposedly some of the brightest most creative minds are here.
Just the cliche .02

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.
