Not exactly. Most posts published around the same time have similar Karma level. Earliest posts or highly linked-to posts get more Karma, but people either rarely get far in reading of the archives, or their impulse to upvote atrophies by the time they've read hundreds of posts, and as a result Karma level of a typical post starting from about April 2008 currently stands at about 0-10. The post in question currently ranks 4 Karma.

Funny, I remember it having 0 points, and then when I published this post it had 2 points.

Anyway, thanks FAWS and Vladimir_Nesov for the correction. I've changed the wording of the original post.

Yes, that's an example of the effect of linking. I guess the post in question will easily break 10 now, perhaps even 20.
