  For me, the value of use Perl is that it has everyone in one place. I see everything that gets posted here (and read most of it); if you happen to write here, I’ll read you. In contrast, for me to specifically subscribe to any single-person weblog in particular, it has to meet a much higher interest bar than the use Perl community as a whole. So I very rarely follow people out of here, even if I used to read them while they were here.

  I know this is true of others too. To walk away from here means to

      And UI is just nicer.

      There's at least two people that I know of, that post the same entries both here and on their own private blog. As I understand it, they write it for the other blog and then use a custom script to post the same content on use.perl.org.

      It's obvious you prefer the other interface by far and if you feel that way, then you are obviously right.

  Sorry mate, but I won't be seeing you there.
  
  I only look at the Recent Posts thing on use.perl for posts, I tend to not see everyone else's posts.
