    I've lost loads of karma on this article. I've been on Good for ages, and been getting positive mods, but a couple of Trolls and Offtopics and I'm just "Positive" again.

    It was beggin for it. Sorry folks.

    Yep, this is definitely shaping up to be my article, isn't it? I've burned LOADS of Karma, and it was worth every -1 Troll, -1 Offtopic, etc.
