Yup, I was expecting a karma backslash for this.

The problem with people claiming that XP is irrelevant, is that it isn't...

Notice that I was talking about nodes getting a lot of votes, and I got loads of responses with theme 'Oh, don't care about XP, I don't,'. Recurring theme, and this is relativly humorous illustration to my complaint.

So why do we call the most upvoted nodes "best"? The most usefull and informational node should be there,

And as for - why should I care? - Because I profit from PM, I got a lot of inspiration from some nodes, a lot of solutions to old problems etc... Flooding with offtopic answers makes it hard to find those.

I don't want XP, I want high quality content.
