It was an accident. I swear. You know, sometimes you aim for the ++, but some mysterious force draws your cursor over to the -- (not enough coffee maybe? too much coffee? Or Lagavulin?). Sometimes you even notice your mistaken vote and intend to hit the +=0 before you hit submit, but forget. In the nearly seven years I've been here, it's happened to me at least twice. But not on this thread. The point being, as tye said, a single downvote doesn't mean anything. Or maybe he didn't say that...
