Or at least comment in addition to down voting :) I up-voted just to balance things out. Given the neutral fact-reporting nature of your comment, I would have just passed it over otherwise (no hard feelings, okay?)

Yes, that is what I meant :)

I'm always hesitant to seem like I'm "complaining about down votes" when all I want is an actual discussion. I'm not trying to fish for anything; I honestly want to know if I'm wrong, but more importantly why!
For the same reason I've sometimes included a statement like "If you choose to down vote, I'd appreciate it if you'd also take the time to reply in a comment. I'm interested in hearing what you think!" I want to make clear that I'm not opposed to people down voting me. I want to improve my comments, and that's hard to do if you don't know what you're doing wrong.
Edit to add: Oh, and to be clear, I didn't read you as complaining.
