XP is a game. If you take it too seriously you only hurt yourself. When I am downvoted and get an 'Ack' message I am slightly unhappy. I tend to think 'What did I do?' But except for a slight ego-stroke what difference does it make? Does anyone put 'I am an Abbott on PM' on their resume?

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I am here to learn Perl, not gain XP status. I do not say no one should enjoy their XP status or not be happy to make a higher rank, but get a grip. Do you get a secret decoder ring for making Saint? Or do you get real benefits from knowing Perl?
