Greetings merlyn. I'm just curious: To what benefit would it be to isolate however accurately those users who "personality down-vote" certain posts? Granted, I think it's fairly lame that your eloquent and (I think) useful post was down-voted to a -16 (when last I looked), but so what? I would think that getting upset about it would only encourage the down-voting behavior. Anyway, just curious. I'll still respect and admire you regardless of your PM score because I find your posts (and books) to be overwhelmingly helpful.
