Oh, 50 is huge. However, glancing around, it looked to me like the ratio was 
much more heavily towards views than is with the case with many other 
questions. I didn't exactly do a detailed study on it though, so maybe a ratio 
of 7k views / 50 votes is quite normal. Regardless, 50 upvotes is a lot. The 
question is getting a lot of attention and a lot of votes.
