I'm sorry - I just don't understand (a) why this is a blog post, and then (b) why it was submitted here. This reads like a comment on someone else's blog, or a "note to self", or a Facebook status update. And yet, here we are - it has 33 upvotes as I write this. I wish there was some way we could say, "only count votes from accounts older than 1 year" in the "points" so we could see just how much influence the newbies have in story votes.
