Interesting comments however I'd have to disagree with requiring the comments in order to vote. As others have said, you will likely see a sudden influx of comments that do not add any value at all to the discussion. I know for myself, I've often voted for interesting responses. Either they were helpful to me and I was thanking the poster by ++'ing the node or sometimes they simply make me laugh like some responses to the Poll. Do I feel a burning need to post a response? no. Other times, I just have a couple of minutes to read things that interest me but not necessarily to post a thought out reply (I'd really hate to see a flood of replies like 'ditto' or 'me too'). I think maybe too much value is placed on experience gained thru voting. Perhaps I'm simply a lone voice crying in the wilderness :-)

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).
