Thoughts on skimming:
* Very high-rated posts could be distinguished subtly. (Maybe a small element is bolded or italicized.)
* Skimming might actually be a symptom of something wrong. Like too many low-signal posts in a thread. Also, maybe skimming even correlates with people posting too fast, or the point system leads to worse posts.
* There are other skim-markers. For example, post length and author.
* Maybe skimming using points isn't actually faster. Could people be wasting time judging whether the post's worth the points?
