Thanks for replying so quick. I too am unsettled by some of the behavior I see some here implementing to try and meet some set of data points to achieve a higher score with them. To me, that goes against the very principles of social interaction. I would never modify my behavior here so some score would be higher. Seems to me, at least for some to be very manipulative, although to be fair to them as I have no access to their site it might just be people taking it out of context.
I really appreciate the way you conduct yourself and what you offer here. You trust that your work brings value to people like me (it does) and you allow for us to compensate you with upvotes, trusting enough of us will to allow it to fund the costs and perhaps make some money for the time you are putting into it. Your trust in the community is part of what this is all about.
