Dear jesuashok,
While I'm completely favourable to the occasional slipping in of OT discussions (especially as long as they're not 100% OT but have some connection with actual [Pp]erl stuff) this forum is for discussing about [Pp]erl, not [Pp]eople, and maybe it's just me being overly paranoid, but I see potential risks about ad personam arguments, even if they're favourable comments - so definitely that's the kind of OT content that I do not appreciate and do not approve.
OTOH if you lurk for some time you can form an idea of who are those whose contribution will be most valuable for your own tastes and interests.

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.
