I'm having a difficult time voting on this one. In general, I like it better, but there are a few specific cases I've seen where seeing points would have been very valuable, IMO. I like the idea of removing any visible signs of total karma. If nobody knows how much karma anybody else has (including oneself!), there is no value in trying to game that number. At that point, trying to make a name for yourself, like tptacek, grelis, or pg have done, is a result of people knowing who you are and the thoughts you've posted before instead of some silly, altogether meaningless number next to your login.
