I think a lot of people don't realize how few users are needed to get a story to the front page. A story often only needs 3-5 votes to do so, giving your one vote a large amount of power. Voting a story from 100 to 101 doesn't really matter, but voting from 3 to 4 is often the difference between the story dying and staying on the front page for several hours.
