RE: COST OF USE.PERL.ORG POSTS
TorgoX,
It has come to our attention that your online
diary at USE.PERL.ORG has cost this company in
the neighborhood of $822 billion dollars. As
valued as your thoughts are, this cost can no
longer be born by this company in these trying
economic times. Therefore, we ask you to
consider using some of these cost-cutting
measures to help us to continue supporting
your online content.
* Eliminate unnecessary markup.
Your use of fancy HTML entities accounts for
much of the cost of publishing your journal.
Please use single quotes (') or, if needed,
two single quotes ('') in place of double
quotes. You are enjoined from using those fancy
side quotes in future entries. Bulleted lists
will no longer use <UL> tags, but simple
asterisks.
Blockquotes are RIGHT OUT.
* Fewer entries with fewer words.
You lead the USE.PERL.ORG community in number
of posts. Some of your entries are quite
lengthy. Please limit yourself to only one post
per day of 25 words or fewer.
* Serif fonts.
You are no longer allowed to use san-serif
fonts. Serifs are there for a reason: to make
the letters easier to scan. The number of
tech support calls this company has received
from speed reading accidents alone has trebled
since you published your first journal entry.
Your attention to these requirements is greatly
valued.
