I am starting to think that certain people upvote things to read later if they are blocked by their corporate firewall (like this site for me). As HN gets more popular, I think the trend is for these votes to get more frequent while the old-timers still don't upvote much at all.
I have been thinking of this for a while, and this might seem like a good enough of an example. Anyone else have any thoughts?

Just counting old-timer votes doesn't seem to change the ranking much: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2073513
