I would spend more of them if there were more substantial questions about Perl, and fewer navel-gazing questions about how this site and community works. The only reason I don't spend them all is because my sense of decorum holds me back from downvoting all of these endless threads about voting and reps and how threads you've voted can be more easily queried.

I note that most of these threads are started by two or three monks, and wonder how these monks can be more fascinated, and more endlessly fascinated, by the voting mechanism than they are about the actual topic at hand. It's a vote system. It's as consequential to the monastery as doorknobs are to a cathedral. Use the feature if you like. Move on with your life.

I'll sit back with some popcorn while I watch people polish those (*)-- downvoting doorknobs on this comment.
