 What I did notice was that out of perhaps 75 images I looked at , only two
 were taken with film cameras and scanned,
 and only one was taken with the ist D.

All 5 of my accepted photos are with the istD IIRC. Four were accepted
very early on, i submitted some more later, when the viewers could
cast votes and my acceptance rate went to near zero.

My heart was broken, so i went out and bought a K10D

 I was thinking a lot of photogs got the new K-X or the K-5  or 7  under the
 tree and were submitting recent stuff in a
 love fest for the new gear.

 Anyway, at the moment I'm kind of fascinated.

Your wonderment is right, you don't get the chance to vote on your own stuff. 
None of us do. ;)

 so I started voting...
 btw it turned out I'd been in for 4 years... had
 forgotten I was.
 
 Glad that it is anonymous on all fronts... but after
 spending about 45 minutes doing the voting chore
 I wondered if the site automatically screened out the
 voters submissions - since I didnt see mine come up...
 though I would think that wouldn't happen and there are
 just s many submissions being made.

Don't worry, that will pass :-)

Good.  although if you can only cast one vote per image, it wouldn't 
matter much if we did. ;-)
