Well, I think you've seen that in the past someone here had issues with people referring to their own resources (even if they were open source / open media / etc. and not particularly commercial or profitable). While I had some issues with what he said, I do agree that sometimes a disclaimer that I originated and/or maintain the resource is a good idea, because people may realise that you may be partial or biased towards recommending it. In any case, it is often impossible to please everyone (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_man,_the_boy,_and_the_donkey ) so I hope you agree, it's not a bad solution. > I > wish all the Perl guru's would put down their differences and get this list > back to JUST HELPING PEOPLE... http://programming-motherfucker.com/ ! Well, I should note that this mailing list sometimes has other things aside from directly helping people, like discussion that was derived from it (I remember some relatively long discussions about whether "goto" was acceptable sometimes, and about using threads as a viable solution for concurrency). I see your point, though, but I don't think that me writing a short disclaimer that I originated and/or maintain a certain resource undermines this.
