While I've learned to accept the mystery down-voter who awards me -16 points from time to time, often after the OP has accepted my response as "the answer," in QA, here  ...
I am surprised, indeed, by what appears to be someone(s) going through many of my recent QA posts and up-voting them.
In case this is one of you (gentle readers), please keep in mind that the criteria I think are valid for voting (up, or, down) for a QA reply is: the technical quality of the solution; its relevance to the OP's concerns; and its over-all usefulness. I would hope that the criteria used by the mystery up-voter(s) are similar.
But, even though I consider myself (attempting to stay) outside the "rep game," I am not complaining
cheers, Bill

Yes, Kornfeld, I think you're right, the effect of Cerenkov radiation's eerie blue light on sperm and eggs probably cannot underestimated.

Don't worry Bill - it was my turn last week!
Seen a couple of instances where a bunch of recent answers from me were all up-voted in the space of a few moments.
My concern was that someone would think I'd created a sock-puppet account! 
But like you, I'm not complaining

I got one of those yesterday - on an answer I provided more than five years ago. My answer even started out with the phrase "No guarantees, but...". It was later established that my answer wouldn't work, but at the very least, it provided the question asker with something that won't work in that situation, which is often equally as valuable as something that does work.

Would be nice with a comment for both up-votes and down-votes.
But the mystery down-votes are of course more annoying, especially when it happens a minute after you post your answer.

Hard to decide if the it is the ugliest thing ever, or if it is kind of cute.
Could give kids nightmares, though.

How about this: It's so ugly that it's cute.

Could work.
And maybe it is cuddly as well as ugly.
