IMHO these endless discussions are pointless.
It's human nature, I think. No one can do anything so that Snippets Section would be read by more people than PerlMonk Discussion Section for example.
Maybe we should all accept that it's a matter of choice; anyone is free to spend his/her votes however he/she thinks is best.

Update: thanks to radiantmatrix for pointing me out the "broken" links to the Snippets Section and PerlMonk Discussion Section.
Also I'd like to note that some (young monks?) mistakenly consider XP being an expression of knowledge. This is most of the times coincidentally true, because XP expresses the experience of a monk in the monastery.
The experience in the monastery meaning (again, IMHO) to what degree a monk reads the postings, votes the postings and obviously the quality of what he/she posts. It happens that most Perl experienced monks are those who lurk almost all the time in the monastery.
