The point I was trying to make, is that your reasoning/motivation for voting on a node should not include whether or not you wish the author of the node to see how nice you were to them, or that you wish to give the author more XP. Whether they get any or not is a random occurence. The motivation should be "Do I think this node is good/useful, should it be seen more proinently by other people" .. etc.

I find I have no shortage of votes, mainly because I only vote when I have a strong positive or negative feeling about a node.. Also I do not read every single node/reply ever written.. Who has the time ?

How do you know other monks won't vote? This is the first time I've heard of people not voting on nodes by AM.
