I have made exactly that point before, but John Anderson as list moderator 
determined that there was no need for anyone to declare an interest in anything 
they linked.

To be fair, Shlomi has regularly explained that he is responsible for 
perl-begin, but it still worries me that he never claims authorship of the 
articles themselves.

I believe a similar problem exists with people posting recommendations for 
their own CPAN modules without any declaration of interest. This too is now 
within the rules.

I have never known a public forum run on such strange principles, but of course 
it is for John to choose and dictate how the site works.
