Less contradiction and more a person who got bored?

I do not want to see who voted for me, because that would make me want to please those people if I have any respect for them at all, and I really can do without that.

When I read older posts, they seem to be much more interesting than the newer ones, and they get hardly any votes.

The voting system is pretty new so a lot of great, old posts have very few or zero votes.

I'd like to be able to see who voted for what, out of curiosity, and because sometimes you're more prone to read something if XYZ marked it as useful (oh, so THAT's the difference between useful and thumbs up - :p ) than if it's just sitting there with a non-very convincing/suggesting title.

If it doesn't happen, no big deal.

I guess I would like to see who voted, more out of curiosity than anything else. And I do not think I would feel dejected if the votes came from 5 newbies rather than say Iversen, Fasulye, Cainntear, ellasevia or Patuco. Newbies need posts that are useful to them, and would help encourage them on, whereas it would be difficult to write something which were useful to the above mentioned, as they already know so much.

Being a Newbie means nothing, it is just an arbitrary number. On the other hand, it is dangerous to think you know something, that means you stop learning.

On yet another hand, you learn because you believe there is something to be learnt. Not believing you can know something leads to not knowing anything at all. I agree with you about the rest though; one should not asses advice on the basis of provenance or hierarchy. It leads to laziness of mind.
