MAIN POINT:
- self upvoting comments, pushes them toward the top. This seems entirely intentional in the design. I actually like it. And I like being able to push my comment to the top, when a post gets older and I can no longer vote for the author, I can still vote for myself, and I can push my comment to the top of a VERY LARGE STRING OF COMMENTS MOST READERS WILL NEVER READ ENTIRELY.
Thank you for replying. I'll respond to your longer reply on the other thread here.
