I agree in the sense that we don't want to mold people into "me too" voting. But I can see virtue in encouraging people to be a little more considered in their voting. I suspect the up votes marto was highlighting were just fly by voting to use up today's quota and garner whatever XP might be available in doing so. I guess most of us have done that at times, but the quality of the site is much improved if people are encouraged take a little more time to read and understand nodes before voting. It kind of goes hand in hand with writing good questions and good answers.

Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond
