No. I had no idea it was. Even now I'm not sure I believe you.

  Then I'm sure you won't mind me down voting you for being ridiculous (since "x points" is the first thing at the beginning of every comment/submission)

    I thought the points was just a rating for the comment or submission. I didn't realize those points were transferred to the user that made the comment/submission. As for your down voting me, whatever. Enjoy. I don't even know what use karma can be on this website. Though at least now I know there is some.

      If it's any consolation I felt bad about down voting you just after I did it but I thought you were trying to be obnoxious. Sadly, you can't undownvote (but I'll up vote this to try to supplement your newly discovered karma score)

      Make that a second person - and I've been on the site for over a year. I knew that _comments_ added Karma, but I wasn't aware that a story submission's Karma is added to a person's total. I've always wondered how someone who has been on the site for less than a year can have a Karma > 1000 points. I always thought they were posting a lot - but a dozen 50 Point submissions will get you halfway there pretty quickly...

  ... it's the number in parenthesis next to your username.

    I never even noticed there was a number in parenthesis next to my username. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

      Oh maybe you've been aware that you have a dynamic username.

        What of it?
