Thank you for the list. always helpful to know where to direct attention.
I was a bit disconcerted that two posts I've downvoted have increased in value - just coincidence or something to do with the curve?
Some of the posts in the list are getting large votes from @oracle-d and @threespeak. Again, disconcerting.
Direct attention - that's a good way to term it, these are only lists :)
I don't think it's related to the curve - perhaps caching or more votes added since page load.
I think these will be ones to have reservations about downvoting. These are likely users with large followings outside but have yet to gain traction here. You choice though of course :)
