Recently I was searching for a topic I was having trouble deciding what the "best" way to handle was. I spent quite a bit of time tweaking super search parameters, and scrolling through lists of nodes, and clicking "in thread ____" links and following links to other nodes people mentioned in the nodes my searches found, and at one point I stumbled upon a really old thread, with a reply that I thought made a lot of sense, and had some really practicle info in it. I rarely bother to vote, but I figured in this case, why not -- and then discovered two things:

• I wasn't allowed to vote on the node, because i wrote it (several years ago).
• It had a reall high Reputation, which I normally don't get that excited about, but in this case, I was a little stoked not just that people had liked the node, but that they had agreed with me about liking the node.
