Exactly the opposite...I find that, while I always like receiving karma from anybody, to receive a "$1 tip" from new folk (whether new to MR, new to me, or new to karma) is the time when karma means the most to me. I understand your feeling, don't get me wrong, but I think it might be a feeling you can let go. You, I, we, who care for the giver's intent behind the pressing of the karma button, appreciate it and its written thoughts for the simple feeling of appreciation, care, support, thanks, camaraderie, friendship...
