I'm just wondering how mister Sarcasticus and mister "short and bold response" have such high karma's.
Me too.
I'm not a fan of karma - I'm the sarcastic sod who writes terse replies (not very karma-worthy) and chides noobs for not using code tags, but mops up after spam raids (often before anyone else reports it) and moves misplaced posts to areas where they might attract more focussed attention.
