how many people vote for a story without clicking on it
There is only one vote button, but there are (at least) two distinct things I use it for:
1) I've read the story. I'm upvoting the story because I think people would be interested.
2) I haven't read this particular story, but I've recently read about this topic elsewhere. I've looked thru the comments and the comments are interesting. I'm upvoting because I think people would be interested in the comments.
I often learn far more about a topic from the comments here than from the story itself.
