Oh no, I wasn't complaining. Far from it. Just taking the opportunity to make a real life karma joke. In fairness, most of the people I helped in that thread were first time posters, probably found the thread via google, didn't know the forum, and they did say thanks in their posts. But why let the truth stop a good joke, eh
It did bother me the other day when a thread from a developer with a particular utility got bumped, there was a fair amount of positive feedback and interest in the app, and I was the first person to give him karma. Karma can be fun, but I'd hope the community would want to encourage people like that to stay engaged with the community of users, and do so here, at mobileread. A little green "thanks" can be a surprisingly strong motivator for a small dev.
