hi Tom... good topic... you'll never see me comment "vote" seems like this is something new being said as a way of a big compliment but i think it is rather a personal matter i do vote, & most of the time it's only once a day for me, that is if i remember now, Michelle, correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that is how images get into the "Hot 20" by an averaging of "votes" lately the Hot 20 has been looking pretty good in the past you'd wonder how some of the photos ever got in there & it can be manipulated i guess by having "friends" vote & users with multiple names but that seems rather desperate hope that sheds some light on the big "V"
