As I come to know monks by their postings, I've been tempted
to ask to see the "reputation" scores of their postings
without having to vote on them myself -- in hopes of finding
gems more easily.
But then... my own "best-scoring" nodes happen to be really trivial,
and just scored high because they happened to appear early on a thread that
got a lot of readers (because it was such easy reading, I
guess).
I thought for a while that the ratio of XP / number of postings
might be a good measure, but then I found a friar with only
14 postings -- maybe this person has done a lot
of voting, becuase the posts I looked at didn't seem that
strong. (Okay, I didn't look at all of them, but I think I
saw enough that this person could have had at least one post
on the "best nodes of all time" list... but didn't.)
