Isn't everyone on a vote budget?

I'm not. If I run out of votes for the day, then hey, I run out of votes for the day. FWIW, this has only happened once since I reached a high enough level to get a picture on my home node. But no, I don't budget my votes. I just spend them. If I see a node that I think is notably good or bad, I just up or down vote it (respectively). But I get so *many* votes, how could I use them all up? I'd have to read Perlmonks eight hours a day; I'd either never get any work done, or I'd never get any sleep.
