Tree, you got me this time--I laughed out loud. In fact, this whole rep-point issue is cracking me up in a way. If anyone's wondering, just raising the issue here doesn't assure that one's points will increase. Mine have gone from 4 to 0 to 4 to 5 to 4 since I posted here yesterday, and folks have been leaving me pro or con notes ("here's one for you, buddy" or "sorry bro, gotta take one away"). I have to chuckle every time I check this stuff, whatever it means.
By the way, I was looking at the system and found that there does appear to be an easy way to rather systematically dismantle someone's point total. I won't say more here since there's no reason to promote more sniper fire of any sort.
I'm now back to my original total of 4, so I'll shut up and say goodnight. Thanks to all who repaired my ruined reputation--karma will find you.
