Ahh, thanks for the reference. I hadn't gotten that far back in the archives yet. After reading, I agree that people should join whichever board on which they feel comfortable. But I still say that to a first-timer, the "Beginner"/"Veteran" checkboxes are ambiguous. A one-sentence explanation would go a long ways to making a newcomer feel more confident. However, I should say that the more I read the fwp archives, the more intimidated I get! I didn't realize how much I had handicapped myself by not upgrading perl5.6.0->5.6.1!!! :-) Chris
