in reply to Voting buttons - need zero/reset

Why wasted it?
Can't a anonymous post not be as valuable as a non-anonymous?

Remember: It's not about XP, it's about Perl!

    It's not wasted, but it is easy to lose sight of the fact that the XP system can be used (dare I say intended?) to recognize well-written, informative, and useful nodes as opposed to (merely) a kudos for the node author.

    immediate UPDATE: Of course voting ++ on an AM could still be viewed as kudos for the author (if you wish); you simply don't know whom; as long as the author remembers the node and follows the thread.

      Don't forget this part of the original post though...

      The same is true when I find a more accurate or informative reply farther down on the list that I think deserves my vote more.

      This has happened to me a couple times, and I've also wished for the "Clear" button.

        Well there is a solution to that too (if you have say only 2 votes, used them and one is AM and find another)...

      • Open the 3rd node to vote in another window
      • Vote for this node
      • Submit the v0tes in the main window, you are down ny one and the only the node at the top will get a vote. (If that happens to be the AM, then repeat first 2 steps for the other node you wish to vote)
      Not exactly pretty, but ti works, and you don't have to remember who you voted for.
