Very Nice Post. I think i aggree with you. It would be nice for the OP to see the reputation of all the replies. If you where then new to PM or new to the subject you were asking in, you could hopefully get some value out of the votes. Voters would then know that there votes mean more as well, hopfully encourageing ++ votes for the best answers. Well it always work? Of course not, but thats no reason it shouldn't be considered.
