Sorry to interrupt the flow of poll answers, but I'd like to weigh in on the topic that Mithalwen, Piosenniel, and others were discussing above.
I'm generally a little uncomfortable with the posts on this thread that "thank" people for reputation points. Like Mithalwen, I think that a rep given is private, signed or unsigned. If someone gives you a signed rep, you can thank them by pm. If someone gives an unsigned rep, they're not expecting thanks.
The number of points and the "level" each Downer has achieved is public and VERY EASY TO FIND. It just strikes me as a little unseemly to come to this thread to crow about what we can all see (i.e. that you've reached Taniquetil, or gotten your first shiny box, or reached the first page on the Members' List).
I actually rarely check this thread because I would hate to see the Downs devolve into a competitive space. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, it's easy enough to find a stick by which to measure yourself against others here, without inciting further adversarial thinking by posting the results of the comparison on this thread.
