Some of you may notice that your 'useful' vote count has suddenly shrunk. People have not been changing their minds, rather I found a bug in the voting system which would sometimes count a vote twice (someone alerted me to this a while ago but I couldn't replicate it until now). I fixed the bug and cleared out the erroneous votes from the database.
Sorry if this causes any confusion or angst!
I was feeling quite unloved for a little while - thanks for the explanation - and I'll not take it personally.
