One day I had just one vote left and decided to vote on multiple nodes, wanting to see how the invisible monastery staff doing the background work would handle this unusual (and somewhat unfair) request.
I was surprised to discover that, after clicking the Vote button, there was no flash and/or a thunderclap, no voice boomed from the sky "WRONG, CRETIN!", nor was I turned into a pile of dust... In fact, my vote was registered successfully... but only for the last node of the ones I voted on.

I guess that some script (a Perl script, I guess :) parses the page, noting the nodes I have voted on, and then applying the votes... from bottom up???

Does anyone know if that is how it's supposed to be? Or maybe a warning should be generated in this situation?
