It (probably) took me somewhere around 200 posts to even get to a karma of 100,000, and I at least hope that those posts were much more insightful and useful than the 3 posts of that guy.

Which is why I'm saying: karma is not a good measurement for "usefulness" - or for anything at all, in fact.
Yep that does seem strange. I'm at over 10 million karma but have over 3.400 posts since I registered in 2010 which works out to 3171.8 Karma per post. I don't know how I got that high (though I imagine a good chunk may be from ebook uploads) but it didn't happen overnight.
