I'm not a karma whore, i'm a comment recycler.

No, you are an idea thief who can't come up with an original thought.
There is nothing in the /. rules against recycling your post.

Nothing in the /. rules about playing frisbee in traffic at rush hour while blindfolded ethier. Try that for a while.
You seem to think karma matters. Original thought and discussion of ideas and opinions matters, which is what /. is about. Rehashing old ideas is redundant.
