Yes, people seem to always find something worth repping in a post that you never would have thought of. And then that one you were so sure of.... nothing.
Basically, I've given up on writing posts for reps. It never works out. I just have to put what I really think, or what I find funny (in Mirth), and if it gets repped, well great. If not, then I wasn't aiming for it, so I'm not dissappointed. The whole point of the system isn't really a race for the top(which is pretty much
Lalwende's anyway), but rather a way of showing at a glance who is more respected. (Note: that respect could come from humor, too.
