I took some time to think about this before responding but I have mixed feelings about the voting on mail. I do downvote any mail that has a broken link or default link and I generally upvote mails rather liberally. I guess I am the "Anti-Blain" in that I will give credit as long as the mail is well written and the link is working. I guess I look at #ListNerds as a marketing tool first and foremost, so I try to keep that in mind when voting. It would be different if it were only a few credits at stake, but not getting verified is a substantial loss of tokens. I am not sure I understand why the use of the automailer is somewhat frowned upon as it is built into the system for marketing purposes. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good part of the content created by the members and I cannot see why downvoting would be helpful to a content creator just because the subject is not something you are interested in. Just my opinion
