I'm not sure that AM do get less votes than they deserve. I personally tend not to downvote AM posts as quickly as I would named posts (unless they're particularly obnoxious), but I will upvote stuff regardless of the author.

As far as points go, I stopped running out of votes regularly just before the recent XP change, have started again now and hope to stop again after rising a level or two. One thing I've noticed about this discussion that people who are a bit higher-ranked are not complaining about running out of votes, whereas people with lower ranks seem to do (well duh! ;-). If the goal of PM were to make every participant happy it may be better to change the XP system once again, so that there's a high rate of vote-increase in the first levels until one gets to 20, and then slow down (say one additional vote per level). That being said, I don't think it's a big deal and I'm happy with the system as it is :-).


Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian W. Kernighan
