calcsam has 20 karma that is not accounted for by any of his posts or comments. This means that he created an account, gathered twenty karma from comments, then deleted those comments. This probably means that he wanted to have a clean account with the ability to post ready, probably before he knew what he was going to do with it. (I keep a 20-karma, empty-history account in reserve myself. It's an obviously useful thing to have, when you think about it.)

(EDIT: Wait, no he doesn't. I was looking at the sidebar to count upvotes, but that has a bit of delay between updates that the karma bubble doesn't.)

Eliezer gave me Karma.

This all grew out of a couple extended discussions I had with Eliezer, Will and Divia.

Eliezer, Will, Divia,

I wrote a couple of posts based on our discussions. I tried to post them; however, I lack 20 karma points. Do any of you have the power to just magically give me those points? If not, I quickly posted seven relatively banal comments. If you all upvote all of them, that will give me 21 karma.

Thanks, Sam

Actually, I just upvoted the two posts, since I can see the drafts. 10 points each = problem solved, I hope.

Confirmed true.
