It's like a Mastercard commercial. Losing the opportunity to get a stack of money: costly. Blowing Omega's mind: priceless.

I love how the discussion here is turning out. The post had karma 1, then 0, then 1 again and there it stays; but the chat is quite lively. Maybe I shouldn't obsess over karma.

Sadly, it's impossible to distinguish a comment no one votes on from one that has equal positive and negative votes. The 'most controversial' category option helps a little bit, but not much.

My advice: don't sweat the small stuff, and remember that votes are small stuff.

This may get fixed later.
