Here's a method I like...
In your user settings, set "Note ordering" (in the Miscellaneous section) to "Best" and then use your votes to try to arrange the replies in a thread.
For instance, if there are two replies in a thread and the first (reading from the top) is not as good a reply as the second one, then upvote the second. If that doesn't make it rise to the top position, then downvote the first one. Whether you succeed in swapping their positions doesn't really matter. Recording your opinion of the nodes relative to each other does.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
