Very true. That is why I have many times contemplated writing an
hourly cron script that votes "Keep, this article is notable" on each
and every article on AfD. I have always assumed that such behaviour
would be frowned upon. But if it is as you say, that the deletionists
doesn't waste too many neutrons/vote, then why should I?

I'm pretty sure I could have this script completed before tonight...
I'm very sure that there are alot of other rabid inclusionists out
there that would also like to script-vote... Yes, this IS a threat.
