I was told to upvote your own comments which I have been doing but find doing this reduces my upvotes for other so from now on I won't be upvoting my own comments saving what I have for the members I read.

This is awesome! I've had that mindset for quite a while now and why I thought it would be a good idea to start a curation trail since I never vote up my own comments and am now able to vote more on posts and on others comments!
