    if it makes you feel any better, I hate it too. I've posted a few really thought out and interesting and conversational posts and got zip for it. I've also posted 4 or 5 stupid funny 1-liners within the first 20 posts and gotten (+5, Funny) for it. Whenever I get mod points I make sure to read "Newest First, Threaded, -1" and give points to people who make points, not stupid one liners =) Moderate away... I have karma and I know how to use it!
