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.
