I suspect the problem is brian's memory is pretty good so he remembers the last time we had this very same discussion with Shlomi. Just listen for a while and I suspect the others on the list that were there then will chime in with the same points that always seem to come up when he sends the same critiques that were sent before, or they will (or would) say in effect what I am saying. It really does seem like he just wants the learn.perl.org domain to point to the site he created. Of course this is the web, and if the content is that good it really doesn't matter what domain you have. Check the archives.... http://danconia.org
