Evan,

You've obviously spent quite a bit of time on this and it is apparently something you feel quite strongly about.

But dude - try to take a step back and put this into perspective. I mean - in the overall scheme of things - how important is this? ...really?

I would hope that you must have much more important things going on in your life to devote your attention to - rather than getting worked up about how votes are cast at Perlmonks.

For what it's worth, my view on your topic is as follows: I don't have one.

Perlmonks is a great place - I love it. Soon after I started coming here I discovered that they would give me some votes to use each day. So more often than not I use them. If I see something I particularly like, I give it a ++, and if I see something I really don't like I give it a --.

It's as simple as that :)

And as our friend has put it so simply and eloquently, why don't you just forget about XP/voting, and start posting about Perl?

Cheers,
--Darren
