Just for the record fellow monks,

I'm not argueing against the XP system itself, or trying to get myself more XP through this little snippet (especially since I know now it doesn't get me a new car, darn!).

The code was just to illustrate a point. I'm trying to understand why 'just visiting' gets you XP.

I can understand why writing questions, answers and code gets you XP.

What I'm basically trying to say is, shouldn't PM just drop the thank you for visiting XP?
It might even encourage "XP freaks like me" (who me?) to write more code, questions and answers.

Teabag
chmod 666 *.*
'cause everyone should have the right to read and write!
