questions like this have been asked here before. it's not unusual, especially for a relatively new perlmonks member. i found it easy to get caught up in gaining xp when i was new here. i thought, if i keep this up, i'll be as smart as vroom in no time!

heh. i made two mistakes in my reasoning. the first was equating xp with skill/smarts/ability/etc. that's not the point of xp. the second mistake in my reasoning was that, at my rate, i'd have to be a member for 6 quadrillion years to gain that amount of xp. also, knowing that vroom can pretty much do what he wants behind the scenes --it's his site--, i'd have to take him out. after a few silly daydreams, i decided it's not worth all that. :) besides, i certainly wouldn't want to fill his shoes.

here are a few related nodes that i'm aware of:
