I find it's not worth stressing over. Sure you could work up some completely self-consistent logical system for voting but wouldn't you rather be out dancing?

    Agreed; it is not worth stressing over. Given that, I have 3 main rules:
    1. If a nodes is likely to be helpful to someone, ++
    2. If not, no-vote
    3. If a node is mean or rude (very rare IMO), --

    I am here to learn and am thankful to all of you for making this a wonderful site.

    No, I have two left feet. Give me a good movie or some anime any day.

    I'm so unsocial I don't even notice the lack of it anymore...

    $ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;

      Okay, wouldn't you rather be out programming a better moderation system? It would save the Perl(monks) community about 1000 programmer hours/week.

      If you need other suggestions, just ask. I have lots of work I'd like done for free 8-D

        Thanks, but I'm already working on a few dozen projects, and now a module, due to the encouragement of the CB. :-)

        $ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;
