I agree that golf was high volume here in the past months. But along with creative uses of Perl, discussion of algorithms and other fun things like Acme:: modules, obfuscation and golf *are* fun things to do with Perl. Please, do not exclude us golfers/obfuscators! We are funny too! On the other hand, golf contests, if they are to happen monthly (as seems to be the trend, if TPR organise a new one in every issue), should not drown the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, obviously. So I'd refine your point to: golf competitions, post-mortem and organisation deserve their own list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]?), while the occasional code shrinking discussions and obfuscated thingies should still be allowed^Wwelcome on fwp. -- Philippe BRUHAT - BooK Financez le d�veloppement de Perl, avec YAS et les Mongueurs de Perl ! http://www.mongueurs.net/association/actions/pdg2002.html
