no........I give Karma for a lot of reasons, but that isn't one of them.
Right now I'm giving Karma to you because the little voices in my head are telling me to..... |

I will now, because someone just gave me karma to put more lucky sevens in my karma total and it made me happy. Thank you, Grace!

Hmmm, I need another option - Yes, but not as often as I should, and I'm trying to do better!

What a strange idea! I've never done it, but I'm not very numbers-oriented.
I have sometimes handed out karma to new members, just to be encouraging. That doesn't seem like the same thing at all, though. |

That's not what I mean - I'm not using the word "should" indicating an obligation. What happens is I get so involved in what I'm reading that I don't even think about karma until later, and then when I think "Oh, yeah, that post deserved karma", I can't always find the post I want to give it for.

Difficult....is a karma worthy post one that is posted by someone who has a symmetrical or palindromic number of karma points?

I use the karma button sparingly, but tend to give it to posts I find interesting and valuable -- whether I agree with the point being made is not a consideration. Also, I tend to spread a little karma in thanks to those generous members who upload our beautifully presented free classics, so often the unsung heroes of MobileRead. Cheers. Neil
