Above Monks are right, in that there are many valid reasons to upvote a question. What happens, though, is that there are Monks who go to the monestary gates, start at the top, and ++ as far down as they can because they get xp just for voting. (Goes to prove the point, "XP doesn't really mean anything!" I've made it into best nodes twice with posts that have nothing to do with Perl at all!) One solution might be to move SOPW from the top of the Gates node to the bottom, so those voting for experience gain only would have to start with the meditations or craft or even *gulp* poetry sections first.

The fastest way to get xp is to have your SOPW front paged.

But I can't say to my computer, "I don't care if I know nothing of Perl! I'm a level five, so write the friggin' script already!" :~)
