I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.

However, your 'vote for paco' crusade did make me think a bit more about how I cast my votes. After reading the poor paco post, I decided to actively seek out good posts from newer members to vote on. I like sending a "welcome to the club, thanks for participating" message.

If it has that effect on others, and make the monestary a more inviting place perhaps its OK for paco to hit the best nodes list...
