I wildly disagree.
If you think Anonymous Monk is less worthy of your vote than, say Happy the monk, that's ok for me. Just kidding. I think AM deserves every vote I cast on him. I don't think they are wasted, node reputation matters, not only to the poster but also to the readers. Maybe all it needs is an appeal to oneself: AM is one of our cherished users, just as any other (at least most of the time).
ambrus: Oh yes, I keep running out of votes at times when I spend too much time reading PM. But that's allright, it's about the only hint PM gives me to go back to work again.
