      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.

      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.

      Preach it, preach it... That is my favorite part of writing articles, I just wish occasionally someone commented or drummed up dialog on the subject. Aaron

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

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

                            Your right though, Gold was too easy. I have to write 21 more articles to move up so I think I may decide to be content at gold for a while.
