It seems to me to be a major contributing factor to the fact that members don't really take the experience system too seriously given that it is not supposed to be taken seriously. Until you realise that, you can't "win" at this game.

I also see that you have new evidence about the first rule of XP-club: you do not disparage XP-club. The site as a whole does not seem to take kindly to people taking the XP system too seriously. Why? Because the focus of this site is Perl - XP is merely a diversion. Nodes focusing on XP get downvoted. Consistently.

Update: I see you're learning now to take XP much less seriously. Now ... can we drop this thread?
