LOL. Actually, looking back, I rather ambarassed myself by getting all
indignant at the "unhelpful" nature of the regulars in comp.lang.perl.misc.
Once I got over myself, though, I realized that the guidelines/FAQs, etc
really *do* help one become a better programmer. That, and the fact that
more often than not, in figuring out the right *question* to ask, one tends
to come up with the right answer, before posting to the ng :)
This is probably the best resource in asking for help from newsgroups:

- glad I learned from it and thanks :) )
