David, I like your journalism at lot and it's a delight to have you here. But, as you are new to this place, I'd like to use the opportunity to say that some people consider it best not to upvote your own comments. Instead, it is considered good form to reward the most valuable comments of your readers by upvoting them. That creates an incentive for your followers to add value to your posts. Anyway, keep up the great work! Happy holidays!
