sammie,

I agree. I noticed that and it is one of the things that initiated this blog post. You seem to be targetted quite a bit. But rest assured you have been a great contributor to the community. So cheers to you!

Anonymity is both the bane and benefit of the Internet. Unfortunately, some would use it to cloak their misdeeds and that is what keeps everyone from getting even more benefit. A fairly Utopian statement, but alas we all need a goal to work towards.

Anyway, I think it would really see more help if the thumb downers avatars get posted. This will help to alleviate indiscriminate negative votes.
