in thread Voting button missing in Perl News

Thank you grinder for actually reading my question before voting on it!! I lost like 7 XP for no reason. This is NOT a flamer or trolling post!! It was a serious question related to the Monastery. I don't understand why most people here just shoot before they actually read my questions... :( Please care next time! P.S. Sorry for the title of this post, it was a little wacko.

    Heh - I just voted it ++ and saw that it is no longer in the negative - good, your question does not deserve to be flamed TOO heavily. But I do have a beef with questions like this.

    My main beef is with this attitude: "Hey, this is broken, fix it." It's not broken. How many times must people be reminded NOT to abuse discussions - most discussions are based on individual wants that really do not add to the overall effectiveness of this site. vroom is busy enough.

    Furthermore - we are programmers, not 'Power Users'!

    Programmers don't whine about stuff - we find ways around the problem - granted, there is no way around this problem, but then again - it's not a problem, because the newsbot is not a user that needs encouragement with ++'s.

    Don't get me started on 'Power Users' . . .

    Actually, I thought the title was very descriptive - I knew immediately what you were talking about before I even read the paragraph.

    Next time - ask someone in the chatterbox first. It will save you embarrassment - or at least you can blame it on other people. :P
