Why remove the funded by Mahalo tip when I add a tip?

When I add a tip to a question funded my Mahalo, why does it remove the tip funded by Mahalo, instead of adding to it?

Eg. If a question is funded by Mahalo for M$0.37 and I add a tip of M$1.00, the total tip is only M$1.00 instead of M$1.37
Tip for best answer: M$0.37
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The basic idea is that you provide the tip for the question. If you don't tip, Mahalo steps in and provides a tip for you. Your reasoning is the other way around: Mahalo should set a basic tip, and you can add a tip to that. Mahalo simply chose a different approach.

By the way, if mahalo provides a tip, and someone adds a 'team tip', that tip IS added tot the total (a team tip of M$0.05 adds up to M$0.42).

I voted this as "Best Answer," primarily because, given two very comparable answers, this one was stated in more definite terms for the benefit of adrianarcher, who, at this writing, is a relatively new user (i.e. yellow belt). Answers that begin with indefinite statements (e.g. "I think . . .") generally don't carry as much weight as answers that begin with definite statements (e.g. "The basic idea is . . ."), which are then well supported. Well done!

I think that its because you are offering to fund your own question on Mahalo. In the absence of you funding it, then Mahalo will fund it instead of you (to the tune of M$0.37...

If somebody else asked the question, and it was funded by Mahalo and then you added the tip it would then be a M$1.37 question.
