"1500 karma was the most you'd see for a guy who saved an orphan from the streets", keep drinking this is great stuff :) -actually sounds like something Matt Taibbi would write.

I agree that having the "hub-wheel" top out is a good thing. It's a way to see that what you're saying or contributing is appreciated. Thats it. It's not a commodity. I think that the one "motivator" that is in place now is how many followers one has. I'm not here for the competition, but if I were that would be one way to know how I'm fairing.

Inflation will come for us all in the end, I guess.

When this was nominated for "comment of the year" in 2009 it had 1800 points:

Compare and contrast with yesterday's top comment:

I'm about to go in to a big business negotiation that has some implications as to my compensation this year. I arrived 30 minutes early. I thought I'd kill some time by following your link. Now I have to make sure I don't enter the meeting looking as though I were just crying. Thanks a lot kb.

Wonderful stuff. I don't even want to read yesterdays top comment. I will be re-reading your comment later to my wife. It's worth sharing and resharing.

That wasn't me - that was a nice guy by the name of wartoad (not to be confused with warlizard, who is also a nice guy).

A very nice guy indeed.
