Periodically, I'll go through my posts via the normal mechanism and sort by lowest-highest-this-that-other, and sometimes, like today, I have found one that I'd like to reply to.

Now, this post has a (relatively) high XP count, and the responses have 15-25% higher than that.

I want to reply to a poster on such thread legitimately (orig post count was ~45, replies were 60+), but I don't want it realized that I'm doing it in order to get exposure on the overall hierarchical post.

How do Monks handle these situations? Shatter humility or what?

ps. I have been accused of raising posts for XP+ before, but those who raised that are irrelevant to me.
