i heartily agree Larry ..
quite a few times i've had a comment by a person making an assumption that was incorrect .. and given a lower vote accordingly ..
and we wonder why so many ppl have left dpc ..
not only the assumptions .. but how one person can change the entire outcome of a photo by giving a very high or very low vote ..
the voting system just doesnt seem to be working anymore .. worked fine back in the day with more ppl ..
are we dying here .. :(
