I figure I'm really too new to be able to accurately judge a lot of things about code. I check in Seekers. It seems tolerant of moderately stupid questions (like mine) as long as they're well-worded. If I find something in Seekers that makes me think and is in decent English, I'll ++ it.

Then I go to Discussion...hey, there's a use for one of my last votes: ++ this node. :)

Then, usually, Meditations. If I have anything after that (unlikely, I only have 12 votes right now) I look for something I understand in Cool Uses. After that, I go browsing for good nodes linked from home nodes.

I realize this is a lot of thinking for only 12 votes. I also prefer casting this many votes about something I care about, as opposed to casting about this many votes at my town's general elections. (Do I really want to make a decision about waste water that an honest-to-God expert should probably be making? Nope.)

Hey, now that I think of it...is there a 'percentage of votes used' stat? If not, why not?
