I know this isn't a recent post, but it's not "old" either. Thanks a lot for the explanation, I will be using it to factor how I do things here. I understand the premise you have presented vis a vis how much one uses vs how much regenerates, but a question @biophil ....

Is there any difference in voting on posts with say smaller rewards....less votes....at specific times.....resteemed posts...etc?

Thanks in advance from a newb.
