I actually noticed the other day, Pete Clark has almost exactly 10 times as many rep points as times he has voted. Which means, for almost every vote he has received, he has cast one. I thought this was interesting, however after typing this out it seems fairly off topic...

Yeah, I guess you're right. The other things are true though!

@Harry: As far as I can tell, you didn't reach 3000 until a couple months ago. I would guess that you still have fewer votes to close than some others (unless you spend your time casting votes on random old questions).

My ratio of votes up to votes down is roughly the same as Kevin Buzzard's. I've just cast a lot more votes.

But I'm reasonably certain that I have the most votes to close after Anton and Scott, the most posts on meta, probably the most comments. I'm just very active here is all.

Harry, 451 down votes, eh?

I wonder who has the MOST down votes ... the most negative person on MO ... there is a reputation to be desired (or not).

I missed out on the fanatic badge back in February for various reasons, but now I've gotten it! Yay!

Luckily I'm the fourth person to get the Strunk & White badge (right after Anton, Scott, and Pete).
