then up-voting their own comment to like $1 or more, but not so much as a penny to my blog.

It's been a while since I saw that, any self-voting comments don't go down very well with me.. there's less of it recently.

I am ashamed to say that I up-voted your post about OCDB without reading it.

It happens, we are all busy people.. I tend to scan articles and if I see anything of interest... stop and then read them.

but I made the same pledge that you made a while back. I'll have to see how I feel now!

It still doesn't feel quite right, but when I see all these established writers using it, it makes me think.

At the end of the day... people like you and me who have invested a lot of FIAT here, want to make something.. and that's a way of doing so.
