Has anyone ever considered a Mandatory anonymous comment feature for a down vote? If you down vote, you have to give a reason? Allow the voter to remain anonymous, but at least make them think for a moment before they get to downvote a node. /start rant
Personally I rarely down vote anything that is not blatantly incorrect, extremely rude, or someone trying to sneak in a school project without admitting it.
The node that brought this up, is short(a definite ++), good to know (another ++), and probably very helpful to people that purchase future versions of the books. I just wonder why these people downvoted this node, I would like to see them defend their vote by commenting why they voted this way.
