Yeah, You've submitted 5159 stories to Netscape, and only recieved a total
of 7097 votes, or less than 1.5 votes per story.
Yeah. If you vote for your own story just once, you're already 2/3 of the
way there.
Netscape's ranking system seems broken. It only counts quantity, not
quality. Someone submitting 100,000 stories with only 1 vote on each would
have the highest ranking of anyone.
And shall we look at the votes for your stories?

4 votes, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2....
Digg's ranking system is far more accurate, and it rates you:
http://digg.com/users/schestowitz/profile
Overall 39, with 9,340 diggs for 1,198 stories. That's an average of less
than 9 diggs per story, with only 178, or 15% making it to the front page.
of the top 40 posters, only 6 have popular ratios worse than you, with some
as many as 100% and most in the 30-50% range.
To add insult to injury, there have been only 1041 comments to your
articles, meaning a little over 0.5 comments per article, which is about
your ratio here. Comments are an indication of just how interesting
something is to people... anyone can click a "digg" button, but how many
people actually have something to say about it?
