I gotcha.  I appreciate your view and know what you mean. This person here may be a minnow, but they rented 17,000 SP and were doing this a few times today.  The comments are similar to the "lol" level.  It's more of good manners vs abuse from my view in this case.  Anyone can vote on whatever, but writing one liners to just self-upvote, while not rewarding the post they're using to do so, makes me roll my eyes and feel inclined to say something.
