    And I still have at least four more articles in progress. I hope Chris fixes the voting stuff before I finish them.

    Cool.  You know, I stopped worrying about article votes a long time ago.  My most 'useful' articles are low voted because they are boring, explain STL stuff.  My articles that people are least likely to use, like the image processing ones, get high votes because they look pretty.  Who cares ? People use them, and that's what I wrote them for.

      Nothing except a higher weighted vote, and out of 3.7 million users, only 23 are platinum members - looks like a fairly exclusive club...

      I didn't realise that, I thought the weight was based on raw post/article count, not on rating.

          I think my first article is in this category, boring and specialized. But you know, this was something I was looking for when I came up with it and frequently asked on the boards at ms. So I guess some of the best articles are not the most popular articles.

                      Just curious, rather new in some ways, what exactly does platinum give you. Not to knock your achievement, just curious. Congratulations AAron
