Actually, I'd love to have a clue as to why people vote negatively. At the moment I'm puzzled as to one cast on me:

I followed up a query of mine - with the solution, thinking that a question with an answer is more useful than just a question.

But someone voted it down.

Why? I don't know. I'd love to know.

The question was considered useful (Reputation: 8). But apparently the answer is not.

As someone who very rarely votes someone down my knee jerk response is: Demand a reason. Perhaps a pulldown form (RTFM, homework, WRONG, Flamebait, Other), with "other" requiring commentary. I don't care to know who, just why.

Thog.

Butlerian Jihad now!

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.
