Thank you for the info.
Based off the info provided i thought i would see where i ranked in the votes on this post... pipped by rainman by 1 minute; damn!. Then i checked the post itself and the result look different.
any thoughts on how au1nethyb1 has vote position #1, despite voting last in terms of the 6 voters depicted?
curation weight depends not just on order, but total Steem Power. @au1nethyb1 had a much larger stake that he voted with.
Of course, I'd also like to understand this - be a good case study to dissect to aid understanding of the OP's post.
