True, you didn't suggest otherwise. I just didn't see anyone in the thread complaining about being down voted. I saw a few people asking why they'd been down voted though. It's possible I missed the comments where they were complaining. As for someone fishing for trouble, I think it's fairly easy to be relatively sure that's the case (vs genuinely ignorant), but impossible to be certain, and I tend to prefer giving the benefit of the doubt.
