I don't usually vote, but when I see that a useful comment has been downvoted, I upvote, as I did just now. The reason I am pointing this out is because I strongly suggest that the system be somehow changed so as not to alienate people who create useful comments. Also, we should be able to buy and sell points.
Thanks! Yeah, it's rather unsettling to spend some time to writing up my experiences only to have my post end up in the negative numbers and all grayed out for no apparent reason. I'm not sure what's up with that -- it makes you feel like you're back on Slashdot. All's well that ends well, though. The post is well into the positives now.
