I really don't know how you'd respond to the many things I discussed, so if you have thoughts on any of these matters I'd appreciate hearing them. I reckon you don't like downvotes the way they are, and I mention some reasons they shouldn't be the way they are. What are some ways you'd find acceptable means of protecting Hive without downvotes, or ways you'd change downvotes to make them acceptable to you?

Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention I am well, although very sore from a lot of hard work lately, and my finger hurts where I ground part of it off using an angle grinder to clean rust off of a pickup truck. I suspect I'll live through these minor irritants, and am greatly enjoying the beautiful weather here lately. I hope you're well also.
