Can't argue with results! I wonder if a more verbose comment saying essentially the same thing would have been upvoted as much.

Now it's my highest rated comment for two-and-a-half years. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

My highest rated comment (~50 upvotes) was a pun with no intellectual value. It's one of those things that makes you realize upvotes are meaningless; I now generally restrict my upvoting to behaviors I want to encourage and comments that I want higher exposure for (push them upwards).
