Thanks,

It is touchy you're right, but I can't honestly see how people can criticise it for the most part - it simply is how Hive works for most (not all) accounts!

You can look at pretty much every regular poster and you'll see votes from the same people OVER AND OVER again - that's patronage.

What might have been touchier would have been bringing up the subject of invest-for-votes or circle jerking.....

But that's for another time!
