Better just to respond to the situations as they arise. Sometimes this will mean pointing a person back to a recent thread that they *really should have* read themselves before posting. Sometimes a thread may also lead to other questions about the approach a person is taking to learning Perl, or to structuring problems. Message threads can take some interesting courses, and it is not only more spontaneous, but also more information-efficient, to make the knowledge meaningful in its context, to find the teachable moment.
I agree - so I am totally talked out of the 'how to' thread.
I would rather not alienate anyone who is helping if people feel its not contributing.
