Does anyone else ever browse through comments, spot one and think "why is the post upvoted to 1?" and then realise that the vote was from you? I seem to do that a lot. (In nearly every case I leave the votes stand.)
I don't recall ever doing that.
Do you leave the votes stand because you remember/re-invent your original reason for upvoting, or because something along the lines of "well, I must've had a good reason at the time"?
This one. And sometimes my surprise is because the upvoted comment is surrounded by other comments that are 'better' than it. This is I can often fix by upvoting the context instead of removing my initial upvote.
(And, if I went around removing my votes I would quite possibly end up in an infinite loop of contrariness.)
