@DavidStratton Here's where the messages start. They carry on till the end of that day.

@fredsbend How the blazes did you earn Sportsmanship? That is for "upvoting 100 competing answers". Nevermind the slight hold up that 100 other people have to have answered the same question and your answer has to also have at least one vote, you don't even have 100 answers to work from! How does having 86 answers let you earn that badge?

Sounds like you broke SE. Good job ;-)

@Caleb nah, 100 competing answers is easy if you have posts on posts with >1 other answer

@waxeagle Oh. Right. I think I need more coffee.

@Caleb Yeah. That one. On some of the questions I've answered there are more than five competing answers. I didn't upvote all, naturally, but I've recently taken a more liberal approach to up and down voting. So I did some reading recently, going through posts I've answered and upvoting where I thought people did a good job.

I kept getting the message "You haven't voted on questions in a while ..." lol

I thought "Well, I already upvoted this question because I answered it."

@fredsbend I wasn't thinking about more than one competing answer per post, but I see that makes perfect sense.

And I agree on the liberal up and down voting thing.

I doesn't take much to get an upvote from me --- answer the question in scope, cite a source or explain who you speak for and that's about all it takes. You could be blathering nonsense. On the other hand as you can see from my profile I'll down-vote you just as fast for flunking those.
