I think this article is tied for my most highly rated article, ever.
I don't know how to feel about that.
And it is officially now the highest rated article of 2015.
So I guess the question is why?
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
~John Stuart Mill~
In this case, I think everyone was glad I was still doing this (after a considerable absence), rather than any particular Newsbyte being just that awesome. Everyone just ended up five starring it, because it also can hardly be considered objectionable (and even if it was, it's hardly the compiler's fault), and it's a nice service I provide (I guess).
Other articles (both by me and in 2015, and by me in 2015) have gotten more 5 star votes; but in those cases there's always someone with a differing opinion.
