The frontpage with a threshold of 100 points

It just occurred to me that while I vote up great comments, I don't remember the last time I gave an up-vote to a thread. Am I atypical?

I doubt it. I think most of us are deliberately conservative to offset the lack of downvotes.

Isn't that the opposite to what you should do? If you are interested in curbing 'bad' stories you should probably vote for more stories, effectively 'downvoting' what you don't vote for.

Not if you think that a lot of crap gets voted up and truly good stories are few and far between.
