I aubmitted the bug because a positive score in a child article wasn't
reflected in the top-level collapsed score. This was a bug because it
used to work. Now, the problem is that a negative (dog pooh) poster's
score is overriden by the responses to it, which have "Zero" score. I
suggested that Zero should be taken as a no-op and be overridden by
either + or - (but what happens if you have both + and - scores?).
