I was out at a meeting so didn't post for a few days and didn't see this podcast until now. I've been debating this issue for awhile. I just posted 2 days a go my ideas about down voting... read it if you want In a Free Market aka Laissez-Faire there is no such thing as a down vote. Ever wondered why?. I did get an up vote from Ned so I must not have been too much of an ass. ;)
