Jazmann, What verndog means is, you are required to have at least one post prior to voting. Since you're only showing this one post...
logic says, you didn't vote if this is your first post. (Unless you registered and voted under another account.) Make sense?

Not that the results are surprising, but there's always some result that I'd not heard of, so it's a good list of "stuff to check out".
