RE: Your turn to earn the respect of your fellow posters!
I like the motive behind the suggestion, yet, it does smack of being 'graded'. Also, in the past, when I do write a thoughtful response, 2 things occur. 1--many complain that they don't like to read more than 5 words(ADD maybe?)2--most don't grasp the concept, due toa predisposed attitude of already having their mind set in a certain direction anyway, or maybe the inability to combine logic with reason. Now, a question--what about well thought out and written posts that are discerning,correct in their premises, yet go against the 'flow'? How will they be looked upon?
