Relevant discussion here: http://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3767<br />
<br />
I think the lower-limit of zero should apply to any particular blog <br />
post, rather than all blog posts as a group. So a post with 1 heart <br />
and 11 thumbs, would give 0 karma, rather than giving -10 karma and <br />
reducing a second post with 11 hearts and 1 thumb to 0 karma.<br />
