Out of curiosity, why is it ancient tradition to upvote for this?

The underlying reasons are set forth in the Sequences, as you'd expect. :)

No. Stop. The only reason necessary is because we want more of that behavior, right?

The behavior of posting comments to the effect that we have taken the survey?

Comment author: adamisom 05 November 2012 12:59:22AM 2 points [-]

Yes.

Haha... Obviously it's not the target behavior, but I, at least, assume that almost everyone who has commented to that effect has actually done it.
