Admittedly I'm more a lurker here than a contributer, primarily 
because 1) I'm still a beginner, I don't make my living with Perl, 
2) I'm on dialup and read the digest usually in the evenings and 
3) by the time I see a question I know the answer to there has 
already been three answers posted, often one I learn from.

After watching how the activity on this list drops off dramatically after
somebody gets squashed by one of the 'experts' quoting 'the LAW' at them
I suggest that what one thinks does matter here if they're willing to
push their beliefs in a judgmental manner.
When the experts act like they 'own' the beginners list it appears to me
that the beginners suffer.
