  I wondered that myself, thinking I remembered a 100-vote absolute limit as
well as a 100-vote-difference limit.  So I printed the guidelines and
checked...

  Either it got dropped, or I was imagining it.  

  I suspect the latter: I imagine 100 votes against anything contraversial
could be recieved, considering the present size of the net.  If it did
exist, I'll speculate the above was the reason it was dropped.
