When I post a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g on this Forum, it will be Downvoted within about 30 seconds of its posting.
It does not surprise me that a well-known poster would frequently receive the first vote within 30 seconds of posting, given that, when I post a technical question, I frequently have answers - often including actual working code - within 5 minutes and composing such an answer takes substantially longer than registering a vote. The monks really are just that active.
Also, IIRC, there's an IRC bot which announces the title of new posts as they're made, so it's to be expected that monks idling in the appropriate channel would be able to react within seconds when a post is made.
Furthermore, sometime within the next twenty-four hours, it will attract seven (specifically, “seven,” plus-or-minus one ...) downvotes.
I can assure you that, as of the time of this posting, your node has received significantly more than seven, plus-or-minus one, downvotes.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
