I'm confused.

So the various new users with suspiciously high Karma are possibly these so called "sock-puppets"? If so, how did that happen?

The way I see it, the only way for a new user to get tons of Karma is to be given the same by another user who has significant amounts to give. The latter, then, would be a user who has been around long enough to have accumulated such Karma. And since he/she has accumulated such Karma, wouldn't that imply that this person is a fairly long-standing and/or somewhat respected member of the MR community?

So then why would such a person be a sock-puppet?

(And yes, I know I'm over-thinking what is essentially an unimportant issue.)

Why, thank you. I've always felt that the threat of violence was a far superior motivator than love, kindness or good humor.

And on that note, here's some Karma for you. (You're not a sock-puppet, right?)
