Did you ever watch Ice skating or some similar sport where the scores are determined by a set of judges award marks on the basis of "style"?
Did you ever watch an individual or couple perform a breath-taking, flamboyant, mesmerising & inspirational performance be beaten out by another that gave a technically perfect, totally synchronised, metronomic but ultimately uninspired and frankly boring performance.
If you have, then perhaps you also wished that it was possibly award the judge(s), that ignored or even marked down the first performance, a quick 'nool pwai' and prevent them inflicting further damage :)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
