in reply to Voting on nodes in lengthy threads

So, you're going to cast a vote before you read the rest of the thread to see whether other replies may change your opinion of the piece you want to vote on? Perhaps the piece wasn't as good (or bad) as you first thought it was. ;-)

Furthermore, here's a hint: scrolling to the end of a page can in most browsers be archieved by hitting the "END" button. And (but that depends on your widget set), if I button-3 click near the bottom of the scrollbar, the page scrolls to the bottom.

    I agree with this. I have in the past up-voted things which a more experienced/wise monk later demonstrated to be flawed or completely wrong. It can be good to read through everything and even wait for more follow-ups.

      IMHO the first replies are always overrated!

      a statistical analysis might proove it ... and may give a weighting factor to correct this

      (which of course is a purely theoretical idea and no suggestion!)
