Was that supposed to be +rep or -rep? You see when you have red rep your rep doesn't count either way. You gave me a neutral rep.
Anyway it is the thought that counts.
Hey Jay, we're just having fun, man. That's what the Break Room is for: hanging out, shooting the breeze, wasting time. We know that the rep system is not a guarantee that any one person has great insight on every topic, so we don't disagree with you on that. But it does tend to represent either that the member has a lot of good things to say or is at least very active on the forums and there are people who like him and/or his posts. My personal suggestion is that you just let it go, come join the party, have drink with us, and have some fun here at INGO!
