because I am American, I own a SUV that sucks a crapload of gas, and I still hear reports about Global Warming being bullshit.
What a relief for my conscience, and on top of that I do not have to try to adopt another lifestyle as other countries do (who are wrong, not being as smart and independent about such topics like petrol as we, American).
With all the respect due to such a low id as yours... Moderation is about making good comments stand out of the slashdot-crap (such as my offtopic-ready-to-get-moderated post).
It's not (shall not be) about giving you a reward.
If your comment is good, it deserves moderation whatever Karma you have. I know I sound boring and smart-ass, but with recent events around moderation, I felt that some facts had to be reminded
That said, I wouldn't have moderated your post (up nor down) even if my old account wasn't $rtbl'd

In related news, we've signed you all up for a /. newsletter! (I am so just kidding.)
We SO just have to wait and see...
If my old moderation-able account wasn't $rtbl'd,
I would happily moderate your post as 'Insightful' or 'Informative', but not as 'Funny'!
Funny would tend to imply that it's not true...
"Nobody will ever need more than 640K RAM!" -- Bill Gates, 1981
Except that it is not Bill Gates that said that, Cf. a recent Slashdot article.
Funny post anyway
Karma=50. No moderation required. Thank you all.
