I think this for me is the reason I want people to vote. I know that people can tend to be overgenerous with voting, so I'll take the numbers with a pinch of salt - but it's really nice to see x no. of people responding, as I know a lot of readers often won't comment and it can get disheartening (though on this round I was very pleased to get some really nice feedback!).
