Yeah I was aware of that aspect, but I was kind of hoping against hope that if I removed the upvote maybe the trailing votes wouldn't come in. But they did. I figured better to address it openly and honestly than hope people didn't notice. I know I would be more than a little upset myself if I signed up to follow a vote trail that promised to only reward truly original creative posts, and I found out my vote had gone to boost a comment in a contest nomination post. Oops. Mea culpa.
