It is kinda against the spirit of HN, technically. But I wrote this to scratch my own itch, because I personally know a number of users here, and I am a fan of quite a few others. I just want to make sure I see when they post. But if you've ever met me you would know that I don't hesitate to disagree with anyone. So, I don't think this is a problem for me, I', quite prepared to downvote inanity when I see it, highlighted or not. Neither am I the type to just scroll down a page clicking upvote after upvote. You mileage, of course, may vary.
