I agree with thelenm that you should not confuse XP with eXPerience.

I'm level 9, I'm almost a Saint, but does that make me experienced in anything? I don't think so. I'm still learning Perl, and I still have a long way to go.

That's why "experience" is gained by reputation, not by XP, and I mean by that; "the value of your posts, the amount of devotion and contribution you invest within the community."

just my 300L.L. ( = 0.2 cents)
