> Do you up-vote to bookmark?
Sort of. For me, an upvote means "I'm glad this was posted on HN". Sometimes I'll see a new submission with no comments yet, and I'm interested in what people might say about it, so I'll upvote to bookmark not just the article, but the HN post, for later comment viewing. However, this is not inconsistent, since I'm saying, "I'm glad this was posted to HN, because I'd like to see what people say about it."
> I sometimes avoid up-voting submissions that I find interesting but have already read or don't plan on reading.
Me too, but I don't see any inconsistency. If I've already read something, then, usually, I don't especially want to see it on HN. So I'm generally not glad it was posted. Thus, no upvote.
