Great. I really hope that, when time permits, the folks at Tricycle can apply this retroactively as well. There are a few users who, despite posting comments of low quality, manage to have high karmas due to sheer frequency of commenting.

I don't know, maybe an early-adopter karma bonus is appropriate :)

Reddit had one. In the very early days of Reddit, one upvote was one karma point. Now they have some fancy-pants weighting algorithm that translates to much less than one point per vote.
