    Perhaps it was my pointing out the vulnerability of
    subways, in which case it would be smiting the messenger,
    which is inappropriate smitition. I do not deny making
    smitable comments, perhaps even intentionally, but of
    course I reprehensible tendency toward self smiteousness.

    Of course if the scores refer to topics, there would be
    no real motive stuff the ballot box, so no record keeping
    would be necessary. It would also decrease the motive of
    guys going for records, etc.

    Actually it looks to me like we could use something
    very close to the current karam script, just mod it
    to keep scores of the subject lines instead of the poster.
    It would actually be a simpler script, since it need
    not maintain a 6 hour timeout on serial smiters.

    We could even keep the karma system in place and add
    a snore/pop buttons below those.
