Thanks for the beer. Do you need beer in your wallet to give beer?
As for the downvote stuff. It's true, those little ones don't cause damage. Also, if all those accounts do is blindly downvote, not only are they not damaging, they mean nothing as well. Folks taking that personally must hate it when a raindrop ruins their nice paintjob on the car as well. It's also a waste of delegated stake if those accounts are only here to be a nuisance. It won't go on forever. I personally believe a downvote should cost far more RC than a upvote, to help prevent abuse.
Yes, for every 6 staked beers you can give a sip of beer. I got some to sort of pass out on coments since steem vote value for me falls below dust level after a couple of votes. Also to bolster some of my post votes.
