It does, thank you. It's funny though because in the age of social media I've been conditioned to upvote something as a cyber-nod showing my approval or agreement. Now that I've read your article, I realize that habit may not be the best strategy here on steemit. But also, I'm just a little minnow so it doesn't matter much; that's good to keep in mind too. :)    Oh!  But you're waiting for your next payout, and the votes will help that right? So I'll upvote it afterall! :)
