@PauloCereda: I'm late to the party... :-|
 
@Werner When we edit this interview, it will be like you were the first to arrive, so don't worry. :)
 
How do you manage your voting "strategies". Do you keep a log of "to do"s handy for when the UTC flips over to 00:00:00 and then let your voting duck bots kick in?
@PauloCereda :)
 
@Werner I used to have a "to upvote" list in a plain text file, so my voting spree was actually head -n 15 list.txt, then I'd get usually 30 votes (1 question and 1 answer), which would grant me 10 extra votes. Then these votes keep going to the next 5 items in my list or other answers from the threads I've already visited. :)
 
@PauloCereda I guess as the popularity of TeX - LaTeX increases - see this map/graph - there may come a day when you may struggle with the voting decisions.
 
@Werner I think I won't suffer that badly. :) If a question deserves an answer, it deserves an upvote. :)

@PauloCereda That's admirable, and something that definitely distinguishes this community from others. True, tenacious, unsung heros are non-existent, but ever-present.
 
@Werner I think we all do what we can. :) It's so lovely to see @egreg and @DavidCarlisle, two TeX demigods, having fun on writing competing answers for the sake of helping people to understand TeX and friends. :)
 
@PauloCereda I agree. Major players in this community understand that there is a greater benefit to just answering the question. A little capitalistic competition is benefiting the greater good.
Arbitrary question: When did you join this community?
 
@Werner Indeed. :)
@Werner January 23, 2011. Two days before egreg joined, if I recall correctly. :P It's been a while. :)
 
@PauloCereda Time flies when you don't know what you're doing. :-o
 
@Werner Exactly. :) And I haven't finished reading my TeXbook since. :P
 
8:31 PM
@PauloCereda Ha ha!
 
@Werner I'm stuck in some chapter. Afraid to look which one. :)
