You are _too_ kind. or You _are_ too kind I'm not sure which. It does get some good pictures up into the public arena, though. I spent a good 10 minutes voting for one of your pictures - it seems you can loop around and vote again - but it didn't seem to make any effect on the averaged score so I don't know if it was really working.
