I appreciate your response, b10m.

I would like to clarify some things that you said or implied.

I believe a lot of monks have better knowledge of Perl than me (probably the majority) and a lot of them didn't make sainthood yet, so yeah, XP doesn't mean anything.
I'm aware of the fact that XP does not measure knowledge of Perl. I've reached pontiff but a lot of the times the Perl questions I asked were so basic that if XP truly measures one's knowledge of Perl, I would be ashamed to ask those questions.

You seemed to imply that I care a lot about XP. If that's the case, I would be using up all my votes every time to get more XP but that's not what I have been doing. I don't usually use up my votes and sometimes I don't use them for days.

But I do bother about getting - votes for a particular node. It's like you're a chef and when you see disgruntled expressions on your patrons' faces, you wonder whether there's something wrong with the food. You wonder because you care about what you cook.

The only differance that makes is that you don't lose XP, and it seems to me, that's all that really bothers you.
Please read my explanation above but you're entitled to your belief.
As PodMaster finely puts it: "nobody is trying to elect you". So this analogy is just plain wrong.
The anology may not have been a valid one but I've made a suggestion and I think it's a possible solution.
