Thanks for clarifying. It makes sense. I wonder if this is something worth explaining to new hubskiers? Or maybe this isn't a common confusion... maybe I'm the only hubsky dyslexic! That's a good point. This might be why I started to get confused. But everyone's explanations makes it clear now. Thank you.However there is a confusion for me in Hubski's grammar. Clicking an article Hubwheel implies share/initiate discussion. Clicking the Hubwheel beside a comment seems to imply approve/reward/acknowledge.
There exists a term in Arabic called 'wasta' which loosely translates as 'clout' or 'social power'. For me this somehow informs the Hubwheel. Clicking one either beside a post or a comment bestows upon its author some 'social clout' (which also adds up in their own personal Hubwheel). In Sufism, the term Baraka means 'blessing' or 'spiritual power'. Maybe clicking a Hubwheel really means that you publicly bestow your blessing upon a link or comment?
I never thought of it in such a poetic way. I shall bear this in mind, specially when hubsking in a zen state : )
