HaHa!! :-) People are more attracted to higher voted articles and more likely to comment on them. Taking this as a phenomenon I noticed this on my blog, too. I am always thinking of my content as "quality" - only differ in the given range and for who.

I would like to object that this article was of less quality because for me it is of high quality. I cannot withdraw your writings from the character I perceive behind them. As I placed you in my mind and heart as someone sensible and wise this accompanies me when I read what you write.

To show it's about the content, not the money I had in mind other visitors to your blog (seeing that although it is not voted high interest is there) and this article in particular.

Does that make sense to you?
