AnalogiesEric, my profile is wigging. the picture isn't me. Also, I got 28 votes yesterday and still dropped in ranking. I'm sure that's a mistake. Please correct. In fact, 28...seems low. Please correct. But look into the profile picture thing first.

AnalogiesSo here's a realization: You can check my profile page, I vote for Linda, Betsy, and Adam A LOT. It's deserved. But NOW, I'm finding myself tempted to vote for them BECAUSE I expect them to get votes, and help my taste score, even if I don't think today's entry is all that great. I suspect a lot of people...See more

AnalogiesQuestion: Who has a better vote score? The person who votes only for the first place entry ten times in a row? Or the person who votes for the first and second place entries ten times in a row?
