Where do you get the points for comments alone? Karma accumulated for posting links is almost completely meritless due to the way the site discourages editorial, is built around multiple-submission, and then gives the karma to the first past the post. Feature request: Make the primary karma count reflect comments and text posts only, making link post karma a secondary figure.
