&#62; I don't tailor comments to please others.<p>Super. Neither do I, prepare for the occasional -4. And don't worry about it.<p>&#62; I always thought awarding karma just for submitting stories was unwarranted.<p>That's a double edged one. On the one hand, yes, you're right. And some of the 'top submitters' here take the easy road by putting in a lot of the mainstream / techcrunch stuff.<p>On the other hand to get some points for finding a really nice article sends the signal that says 'well done', find us more stuff of that caliber.<p>Personally I think that domains that have had more than say 20 links submitted (TC, wsj, cnn, bbc, sciam, the top blogs and so on) should no longer be rewarded.<p>It's basically a race between the people that have their RSS feeders primed and want to be the first to submit that sort of thing.
