Which gets me thinking, why not also have a "un-spotlight" function? Not to
remove a spot light I've previously set (which I can already do), but to
subtract from the spotlights of others (subtract 100 or whatever from its points
value). So if I think a news item that has made the top stories isn't all that
newsworthy, I can vote to remove it.
