Listen Minnows... your votes do have value.
Be smart, and think carefully before you vote. The goal is to upvote content you think others will also upvote after you. Minnows get the most practice becoming good curators, because they have to. Wasting votes on their friends just to be nice, it might not earn them any rewards. Instead focus on searching out quality posts that others will find and also upvote.
Yeap, by the way congrats on the 62 rep, you're catching up to me.
