And yeah, I downvoted the root node for whininess. Rule #7 of Perl Club. Don't care about XP.

Can you please show me in my post where I mentioned that I do care about XP? And where I whined about it? I am not trying to argue, but I thought I did a good job stating that I did not care about XP. Here are a couple quotes that emphasise my point, from the root node:

I have no problems with downvoting and receiving XP for doing so. I also have no problem with someone downvoting my node especially if I am incorrect.

Update 2 My primary concern is not that *I* know why *MY* post has been downvoted, but so *OTHER* readers know if a post is technically incorrect.

Update 3 My main point was that I had seen some posts that were incorrect and downvoted but no-one posted a correction.

This quote from this node: Have I still not made my request clear? I don't care about votes. As a reader of this site (any where from 1-4 hours per day) I would like to see people post more corrections. Some/Many (I don't want to post a made up statistic) people do this already. But I would that it be an official recommendation of PM that if you are going to downvote a node for TECHNICAL reasons, that you also post a comment explaining why the node is technically incorrect.
