Think of it as a badge of honour.
I have had more one posts over the years than I care to recall.
At least someone cares enough to actually read what you say!

Thanks.
I don't really mind the loss of debator points, but they also attacked my Authority rep and that annoys me.

Get used to it - it happens. The important thing is not to let the univoter know it annoys you. If you do, then it gives them an incentive to continue. It you ignore the univotes, they will get bored and stop - why expend effort if it has no visible effect?
We all at some time get an idiot annoyed, and they go on a univoting spree. I had one who searched out every post of mine they could find and down voted it. Fortunately, the down vote only gave a couple of negative points, and most of the posts got up-voted in sympathy, generaly with high positives. I think I came out ahead on the deal in the end...which would probably really wound up the univoter if he knew!

Even with 5 votes to approve, a several non-articles have been getting through recently. Example[^]. I left a note there to that effect, but it disappeared on publication soon after. People seem to be approving stuff without even reading the existing messages.
Is there a reason why the voters should be anonymous? Flame retardant reasons?
Second question - are direct submissions by email also placed in the moderation queue, or are they sent out directly? (not complaining, just asking)

I was one of the 5 approvers for that particular article. It's short but I don't think length alone should mean it should be a tip/trick. Personally speaking, I only post articles here since with a Tip/Trick is more like a wiki (and sometimes that's something to avoid). Also Chris has now stated that articles and blogs are considered at the same level and as you surely know, there are several approved blog entries here that are as small or even smaller. So I guess it's time that we adopted a different approach towards smaller articles.

I agree, Nish.
As far as article length goes, it would be easy enough for the admins to set up their tools to check for a minimum number of words; for example, in the ASW, it could say, "That article is too short to be submitted as an article. Would you like to submit it as a Tip instead?"

Same opinion, and source code should not be counted.

In this case, the article was repeating MSDN and the original article (which the author quoted; the original got 1-voted for the same reason). However that is not really the issue, I think there have been several more that went through.
About blogs and articles being treated the same, I disagree with CP's policy, blogs are easier to write and people will probably let slide what would not pass in an article. IIRC, short articles were considered acceptable in the past (long ago, before there were millions of members), so what you say is probably the best course of action. Quality, rather than quantity. 
Have you any idea about the second question? (not objecting, edited articles can go out directly, but putting them in the queue would reduce some of the editors' workload)

Well, with direct submissions, many are often submitted as word documents, sometimes even pdf files. The editors usually reject really awful ones, but once they select an article and edit/format it, I reckon there's no need to get that approved through status-based voting. And as far as I know all the CP editors have technical/software backgrounds - so they can be mostly trusted to pick the good ones out.

It's highly unlikely that 5 people(with the powers to approve - editors and high rep people) would not read and just approve the article.

On my profile page[^], it lists my point total as 27858. But if you click on the tab for reputation, in the graph, the total is 27859. It turns out that the difference of one is from the participant points. On the About tab it shows 2801, but on the reputation graph it shows 2802. Is this just a caching issue or something else. Thanks

I my answer here: http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/192235/div-tag-image-mouse-event-actions-if-it-possible-o.aspx#answer1[^] I explain it.
Enter answer, the preview changes "onmouseover" to "önmouseover".
Post answer, and it changed to "Æänmouseover" or similar.
Edit the answer to explain this, post it, the answer changes to "önmouseover".
