Thought I should chime in here. Is was said that:
When you ++ or -- a node, you are not in fact
++'ing or --'ing the person, but the node.
I'm sure you know this, but:
- Every one of your votes has an effect on every other
voting user through the effects of $NORM.
- Votes on users effect their experience and reputation.
So when you ++ or -- a node, you are in fact ++'ing or --'ing
the person, and every other user's chance of xp gain or loss
via $NORM.
Regardless, it's agreed, vote the node!
