Hi, @stbrians! Good comparison between eagles and birds. I understand and agree with your point of view, since in the last 20 years I have been involved in an NGO's activity. We, those working in NGOs, are used to giving, and that's normal and comes snatural.
What I have learned from your post is that even if you are a bird and your vote is worth 0.00 or just 0.01 it is worth giving the vote. I think this way we show our appreciation for that post, our respect for the other hard work and encouragement to continue.
