And I get down voted for that? I need to rethink if I want to be here. If you had 10,000 karma at HN, could you trade those in at Starbucks for a free latte? No? How about 1,000,000 karma? Could you trade those in at Delta for a free flight to Tahiti? No? You can't take karma too seriously. Sometimes I've said something that I thought was adding to the conversation and I've been voted down a lot for it. Other times I've said something quick and flippant and earned some unexpected karma. It's just HN fun points. Don't take the downvotes too seriously. I try not to. But I have had 'dang' chastise me a few times, and I do try to pay attention to that, because he attempts to set the tone here. So if you avoid his wrath, you're cool.
